My New Favorite Winter Wear
Alright, I’ve had these for about a week now, so I’ll give my “first impressions” review. First off, these are comfortable. Like, super comfortable. The moment I put them on, I was like “yeah, this solidifies it. I am never wearing ‘normal shoes’ ever again.” I’ve had my Strands for a few years now, and they are also amazing, but these ones signed, sealed, and delivered my devotion to this company. The Aspens are warm, soft, and have more structure than the Strands do. They feel more like a boot, but not in that inflexible and stiff way that normal boots feel. These are a comfort that I cannot explain. Second, I live in Northwest Wisconsin. It is cold. We get ton of snow. Granted, we are towards the end of our snow season (I hope) so I haven’t had the chance to test these in deep snow, but I have had the opportunity to test them in about 4-5 inches. They are not 100% waterproof. They are water resistant. If you walk through small puddles, your toes will get wet. That’s just how it is. If you are trudging through deep snow, you will probably end up with wet socks. That’s just the reality of living where it snows half the year. I will say, if I did some of the things that got only my toes wet in the Aspens in the Strands, I would have had to change out my whole sock, because it would have been dripping, not to mention I would’ve had to dry my shoes out for hours, if not days. To conclude, they handle the snow like any other boot. They aren’t ice fishing boots, they are walking boots. And they do that extremely well. They keep the snow out of you are on regular walking trails, and if your foot sinks in a few times, you will still be dry, which is all a person can ask for. They perform like my regular old winter boots and they keep my toes warm, which is something the Strands could never do. And they are about a hundred times more comfortable than my old boots, so these are my new go-to for the winter season. Lastly, they seem to be constructed very well. Granted, it’s only been a week so far, but my Strands have held up for several years, so I expect the same performance from the Aspens. To conclude this whole review, I would say that I highly recommend these 10/10 if you live somewhere that has cold winters. 9/10 if you like ice fishing, because these won’t replace your ice fishing gear, but they are still pretty darn good if you ask me. I’m excited to wear these in the winters to come, and to continue supporting this company, as they continue to put in quality work. I actually sent the company an email back in September of 2024 asking for a winter boot for the people up north, and I gotta say I couldn’t be more pleased with what they gave us. Definitely worth the wait Peluva. I will continue recommending your shoes to everyone who dares to ask me about them. Keep up the good work!
LOVE THIS BOOT!!!
I wish this came out a few months ago! Finally my feet are warm and it handles the slush pretty well. I’m not scared to wear these on freezing nasty slushy days. I don’t think it’s something I’d push too far, and not sure how dry your feet would stay running trails. But for casual walking and cleaner trails no problem. If moving fast I’d imagine any water that did get in would likely not be too much of an issue, not tested though. City streets with nasty snow and ice, definitely no problem. Finally, I can wear something in the nasty winter and not freeze! Also, this tread is pretty amazing! Really good grip on rough terrain!

I think the quality of the boot is good. Theres a bunch of imperfections in where the fabric is glued together and cut . But the one thing i dont like the most is that it has literally no protection from getting water in your toes, whcih is highly prentative if i want to hike any varying terrain. These are cosmetic upgrades or a boot only ro be used when in very dry conditions.
