Timberland or north face ?
Timberland or north face ?
I would think high cut waterproof boots will be better. Less chance of snow getting into the shoes. Wet feet + cold is super uncomfortable.1 day at ski resort, Rest is Sapporo, and Hakodate, noberibetsu etc. Dunno wise to buy a shoe or boots better
if you don't have a pair to walk in snow, like most comments here, get a water proof boots/shoes. once your feet get cold, you won't last long outdoors. also, buy when you are in Japan. more variety and cheaper. if you hardly use these shoes, don't have to waste money to buy branded. made this mistake abt 3 yrs back. walked in ankle high snow with no water proof shoes. quickly went into ABC mart and bought waterproof shoes for the trip.
I will be going to Hokkaido in March next year for skiing with my family. Where can I buy waterproof boots for adults and kids?
Decathlon for budget travelers. Other brands like Columbia, North Face or other brands such as Montbell and Marmot at Velocity @ Novena Square.
How about those at Universal Traveller?

if u have 2hrs to spare on arrival, go to any of the department stores in Hokkaido (eg Lucky or even DonQuiote, not Daimaru), plenty on sale there and cheap ... like JPY 2000 a pair type
That's if they were heading to Sapporo first. I had to get mine before the trip since I was in areas where there's no mall at all.
There's Rera Outlet Mall. Free shuttle to & from airport. 10mins away.
There is a large ABC Mart there, but prices higher than those no-brand stuff from local malls.
Sportsdirect Malaysia got 40% off all Karrimor & Gelert outdoor products.
Wifey bought Karrimor Isla mid-cut "waterproof" boots for just RM 149 after discount. Last day tomorrow, Sun, 8 Oct.
you referring to these?I called Universal Traveller and the girl said the boots r selling for less than S$40 a pair similar to what I saw on their website.
