A fantastic American company has created easy to wear and shed winter boots that are lightweight and keep your feet ultra warm and dry.

The Aetrex Berries line of unfussy but stylish all-weather boots look amazing and the best part, they are made in the USA, and can go from ski lodge to dog walk, evening out to daily errand running effortlessly.

Aetrex Blackberry Boots are the best footwear investment and gift you can give someone. These weightless, easy to throw on après-ski snowshoe boots are perfect for this wet and slushy snow-filled winter season.

Their magic lay in the materials uses, the unique waterproofing and insulation keeps your feet warm and dry even if you stand in an ice cold slush puddle. Nothing gets in.

We love the Berries Bungee Boot, which contains neoprene linings that stretch and insulate the foot to keep your feet warm and comfortable. This is a Chicago boot if there ever was one!

Another must-have is the Berries mid-calf boot. For those of us in Southern California with rainy season approaching, but with usually milder temperatures, this boot is the perfect height and weight and was the boot style put to the test.

The Berries mid-calf, tall and Bungee boots can be worn in any weather. These boots sport a sealed seam construction with total waterproofing to keep your feet dry even when immersed in water. Every Berries boot contains P2i ion-mask nano technology for superior liquid repellency and stain resistance.

Hygienically designed, these boots boast Aegis® anti-microbial linings which protect against fungi, order causing bacteria and algae.

The boot offers a four way stretch upper for optimum fit and comfort around any foot. The innovative insole provides unsurpassed comfort with its memory foam and polyurethane construction for comfort and pressure relief. The boot’s rubber outsoles supply effective traction for any condition.

P2i ion-mask waterproofing is invisible to wearers because it’s a protective layer of ion-mask over one thousand times thinner than a human hair. The technology is molecularly bonded to the whole surface of the boot making it extremely durable without affecting the look or feel of the boot. Even better, ion-mask lasts as long as the material itself and is not compromised by everyday wear.

Bonus Intel: Aetrex, a family run business based in New Jersey, also owns and maintains the world’s most popular foot health website – Foot.com, which hosts more than 200,000 visitors per month and was named by Yahoo! as the best health care site “below the knee.”

Affordable, chic and useful, these are the boots you want to have on hand when you need to have comfort, style and warmth at the same time. Fabulous investment in footwear.
