Temperature Ratings

The insulation of your Cougar Shoes product has been laboratory tested to determine their resistance to heat loss and their ability to keep your feet warm.

The temperature rating of our boots and shoes is based on your degree of activity and the rate of blood circulation in your feet. Because of these considerations, our temperature ratings are to be used as a guideline and are not covered under our warranty.

We recommend wearing wool socks to maintain warm dry feet in cold weather. Wool naturally wicks moisture and keeps a layer of dry air next to the skin. This helps to hold in body heat.

Avoid wearing cotton socks as they retain moisture and have less natural insulation, making your foot feel colder.
