Not impressed with the new boots. Get cold around zero with cotton socks. Never had cold feet in the military boots. Even after dumping out water and putting wet feet back in them. I'd be a little worried to try that with the new boots. I guess that is to be expected as they we're tested in the spring by mostly Insta-celebs.

Thanks for the report. I've been wondering when we would see some real life reviews.

Very disappointing to hear. Definitely seemed like you had to be some type of internet influencer to be a tester. I know a couple of us who only visit this sight applied to test and were not selected. They can have the look and a great feel, but if they won’t keep feet warm below zero, they don’t pass the test.

I tried to get a set to test, no luck. Surely won't be wasting $400 on them, I have a few sets of the old ones that I think were $50-$60 a pair...

My personal experience and opinion on the NEW Bunny boots. The positives are, super comfortable to wear, better traction with the better soles and I like the taller design. Negative’s they are not as warm as originals! Been using for just over 30 days in temps from 15 to -25. Above 0 they are ok feet are warm but not overly warm after wearing for 6-8 hours socks are dry! Not the norm with originals. Below zero feet are cool. -10 and colder toes are cold and takes a lot of wiggling to get them feeling better. But they never get warm. Recommendation is don’t buy for cold weather use! Stick with the originals.
