Though most of us here at ML own laced snowboots with chunky hiker-style soles, the pull-on is an appealing alternative when you’re doing anything other than hitting an extreme winter trail. 

A quality winter pull-on boot offers the advantage of step-in ease to get you out the door faster when driving kids to ski/snowboard lessons, shovelling the walkway, grocery shopping, fetching the mail, walking the dog, or any other cold-weather sortie.

Hunter’s new all-rubber Women’s Play Vegan Shearling Insulated Tall Boot offers a lot of comfort and versatility, with its cosy inner layer of faux shearling and moulded PU sock, and a temperature comfort-rating of -5°C. (With warm socks you can wear the boot on colder winter days, and the -5°C rating means you can extend your wear to spring and fall without overheating.)

We found a lot to like about these boots. Rubber is naturally flexible and 100 per cent waterproof and wipes down easily (and unlike leather, rubber is resistant to road salt staining).

The tall profile provides warmth all the way up the leg and the fit is supportive and the outsole grippy enough for winter walking. We also found the fit to be suitable for wider feet.

And here’s another advantage of a well-made pull-on boot. Pulling off stiff, uncomfortable ski boots and sliding into a pair of Hunter Play Vegan Shearling Insulated Tall Boots for your drive home from the hill is nothing less than bliss for your tired feet.

Hunter has pledged that all their rubber footwear will be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified by 2025. In 2022, they used 74 tonnes of FSC-certified rubber in their collections. In 2023, they will push this to 207 tonnes. For more perspective, in their 2022 collections, 68% incorporated either FSC-certified rubber, BLOOM algae foam or recycled textiles. From Spring/Summer 2023, they will increase this to 86%.

Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
We came in search of the connection of the human spirit to both art and adventure, whether climbing from the depths of moulins and ice caves, breaking through ice while paddleboarding fjords, climbing icebergs, freediving between tectonic plates or surfing cold waves.
A thousand and one things could have gone wrong, but she made it to the top:  @mariepier.desharnais is the first Quebecois woman to climb K2.
Mountain Life is a proud member of the @printreleaf_ community. So far we've offset our print by having 1,737 trees reforested since joining in 2019! 🌲
GUESS WHAT! It's FRIDAY! Here's a flick to kick off the weekend for all you warriors.
