Badia Shearling Black Suede M

Three weeks of icy sidewalks in these and the Vibram sole hasn't slipped once, even on the steep hill by my apartment. The suede lining keeps my feet warm without making them sweat on the walk to the train. Genuinely the sturdiest winter boots I've owned.

Wore these through a slushy commute and my feet stayed completely dry thanks to the wide rubber rand. The suede lining feels plush against bare ankles too. Grippy Vibram sole handled icy sidewalks way better than my old pair.

The suede lining keeps my feet warm without making them sweat, which I wasn't expecting from a winter boot. The Vibram sole has real bite on icy sidewalks, and the wide rubber rand means I'm not babying them when I kick through snowbanks.
