The last Bata bunny boots — also called V.B. or vapor barrier boots — were made in 1992. Nothing since has worked as well, columnist John Schandelmeier writes.
These bunny boots with crampons were used by Alaska mountain climber Ray Genet, the first guide on Denali.
On the other hand, Summit Station on the Greenland ice sheet set a record low of minus-87. We don’t have the boots for that. The bunny boots made today are cheap knock-offs of what was once a superior boot that worked well under all conditions. The newer ones are good to possibly 20 below — if you are moving.
A call to a boot manufacturer should get an answer. Nope. They can’t tell you. Closest I got was a guy who explained that they tested them in a freezer for 15 minutes. Being in the fish business, I spend a lot of time around freezers and I’m fairly certain there are few freezers other than blast freezers that hold lower than minus-20.
Unless someone has a better answer, I believe those who need true cold-weather footwear are going to have to put together their own system. I’m leaning toward a mukluk-type overshoe with a couple of liners from different manufacturers
