What winter boots are your favorites for tromping around Anchorage in the winter? I've got my heart set on some sheepskin boots, and I was going to spray them good with waterproofer - but not sure if they're the best pick.

I thought it might be easier to find some here before we head up...or there may be some better outdoor stores up there?

Also, any advice on best moisturizer, etc for the cold/dry air?

Xtratuf boots. Next would be Sorels. I will even say that Xtratufs can look sexy if worn correctly.

Nothing more sexy than a pair of bunny boots!

I am of the opinion that you should own several pairs of boots, in varying warmths, colours, and styles if you're going to live in Alaska.

I'm over 21 and don't bother much with boots, but then I don't do winter sports.

I came across some old guy in the lobby of the Captain Cook wearing nothing but a bathrobe.

There are some "visuals" that are better left "under cover"
