The footwear I chose isMerrells Bristol Chelsea Boots.

The outsole provided plenty of grip on the wet, slippery ground.

I also loved the substantial sole, with thick lugs that gave me plenty of support in various terrains.

After spending a few days in Voss, I took the six-hour train to Oslo, Norways capital city.

They also feature an insole thats treated for natural odor control, which is a major bonus.

Dont just take my word for it; plenty of Merrell customers are raving about these boots.

They are comfortable, warm, waterproof, and have great traction!

I wore them every day on my 10-day ski trip.

Wearing these is like walking on clouds.

They don’t dig into your ankles like some Chelsea boots do, wrote one shopper.
