Ice Queen…lol. Dude, thanks for doing to leg work on compiling this great information and not slipping up to much delivering. (Pun intended). I returned to Wisconsin after my years in service. My only boots I had were my desert combat boots. Taking a stroll in the middle of winter my boots turned to blocks of ice and I ate some serious snow, only seeing my shoe laces and the sky. Luckily I was young and bounced off the ground like Gumby. But since then I realized how important the rubber compound is when buying boots. Now I have science to find out what will work best.

I have some merrel casual boots with ice fx soles and there is a night and day difference in traction on ice and snow vs normal boots. Ive had them for a few years and they are still going strong

I think IceFX are only on Canadian Tire company (and subsidiary) stores like Canadian Tire, Mark's, Helly Hansen, etc. Easy to find in Canada, but I imagine arctic grip are easier to find abroad.

That’s be hard to test, people’s gait varies so much, foot angle per downward step, etc etc etc. watching where u put your feet each step and being prepared is better than anything, if not soft soles and walking more flat footed wins in most factory settings, polished concrete, paint markings and what not

In Maine we generally favor augmenting boots with some sort of spike. Bean boots take particularly well to them, incidentally. Easy to put on and take off. They now make them with BOA systems, which would make them much easier to put on and take off. The stretch-on ones can be a bear.

Carl you need a nice Longines Hydroconquest GMT - L3.790.4.66.6 in root beer to go with that Oris Aquis. I can tell you're an earth tones man and that'll be a great accurate +/- 3 spd watch for travel and adventure.
