Taking its styling inspiration from high-top sneakers, Zaide (by Olang) is a stylish, waterproof, and warm winter boot. The uppers are made of waterproof full-grain leathers and suede, and the inside is lined with shearling. Laces are there to customize the fit, while an inside zipper helps get them on and off easily. Olang claims a temperature rating of -30°C (take that with a grain of salt, as that will be different for everybody; it will depend on several factors, including your circulation and socks). The best part of these boots may be the outsole: it features Olang's ALASKA outsole, with 16 stainless steel pivoting and folding cleats (see the first picture). Olang does provide a special pry tool so you do not have to use your hands to operate the cleats.
