That looks like an older Lake MX winter boot pattern.

The special need of someone riding in super cold conditions?

They look interesting @ first glance, asI prefer winter boots that work well 1st & if the look good that's a bonus (not often enjoyed ๐Ÿ˜€ ). Trouble is the neoprene flap doesn't look to extend past the internal 'boot' collar enough to seal it to ankle well.

Velcro has no place on a winter boot IMO.
Get some snow in there. Let it thaw a bit. Then re-freeze. Bingo, your boots fall off...

They look like something from an S & M catalogue.

[Not that I read such catalogues. Hell no. Not me]

I've had no issues with the velcro on my MW80's.

I did a meeting for Southern Water following a hostile takeover by Scottish Power. The sewage workers and inspectors were not impressed when they received their new boiler suits which fastened with velcro.
Sewage and velcro are not a good combination.
