We can't rate it for you, but here are the facts. Pajar is family-owned, was founded in Montréal in 1963 and still has its own factory there. It became the official footwear provider of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team in 1989. Most of the styles we carry are comfort rated to −30°C (−22°F).
Most of the Pajar winter boots we carry have seam-sealed uppers, a traction lug sole and a comfort rating of −30°C (−22°F). For slush and icy sidewalks, look at the Ice Gripper or Get-a-Grip soles. Check the rating on the product page for the exact pair.
The Cyra, Toboggan 2.0, Gavel and Trooper 3.0 are comfort rated to −30°C (−22°F). Pajar says its warmest collections go down to −40°C. The rating is on each product page, so check it before you order, especially if you stand around outside a lot.
Pajar started in Montréal in 1963 and still has its own factory there. The company also makes footwear in Canada, Europe and Asia, so it depends on the style. Some listings, like the Baffio, are labelled Made in Canada. Check the product page for each pair.
Ice Gripper is Pajar's thermal rubber traction lug sole, made to grip icy streets. Other Pajar boots use a Get-a-Grip or toboggan lug sole. The Valentina has the Ice Gripper sole, for example, and some men's styles say ice gripper right in the name.
It depends on the style. Every product page has a size chart, so measure your foot and compare. If you're between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, size up. Returns are free for 30 days in Canada and the USA, so swapping sizes costs you nothing.
