Traction on demand- what a concept!
I found these boots by accident, a staff member was attempting to help me find good winter hiker style boots. I had looked at several styles when I heard her say 'what the heck is this?' She found the crank on the back of the boot that extended the cleats. Instantly I had to have them, I have fallen on the ice before, this should stop that situation from ever happening again. They did not have my size in the store, but carried it online, so I ordered right there and then, hoping they would fit. The traction they give is incredible, I can not attest to the cold weather value as we have not gotten cold yet. I have heard that at -20 the cleats will not move, and that sand will plug the mechanism. I have not seen that yet, but will be looking for issues for sure. They only go to a 13 regular, wide would be a good size to add. I have showed MANY people these boots, everyone has said they are buying them. More advertising will help sell this wonderful idea. They do fit a little tight, but are breaking in.

good traction but mechanism failed after 1 year
I bought these boots in 2018. I was quite impressed with the traction and the mechanism that deployes the spikes. I used them sparinly the first year and they held up pretty well. In the early winter of 2019 i went to deploy the traction control on one of the boots but found that the spike would not deploy. I called a local Marks to explain the problem. They suggested using a lubricant and spraying the mechanism and maybe it would rectify the problem. Unfortunately that did not work. I email Marks and they said there was a limited warranty on the product (90 days I believe) and could not help me.
Overall I was impressed initially. good traction, warm. I didnt expect the mechanism to fail that quickly.

Make sure those traction spikes retract properly.
I ordered these online long ago, and had to wait for decent weather to get to the nearest store, since for unknown reasons Mark's won't deliver to post office boxes, which is all we have where I live. I finally got there and found the boots fit perfectly. Then I tried to put the spikes out and in again. Those on the left boot worked fine; those on the right boot would not go back in without pushing harder than I'm able against some kind of glitch. The salesperson tried to convince me this was normal, but it wasn't. I turned them in and reordered, hoping for a functional pair. Make sure you test those spikes before buying.

Tres bonnes chaussures.
J'ai acheté ces bottes il y a quelques semaines et ne peut plus m'en passer. J'ai eu des bottes wind River auparavant et je les ai trainé 15 ans. Je crois bien que je vais les avoir aussi longtemps car la qualité du cuir et des crampons est vraiment super.

Mechanism failed after 3 months
They survived my first winter in Ottawa and I loved them, but the studs are now stuck and the mechanism is not strong enough to "push through", it ends up breaking. Many people with the same problem. Avoid the 2019 model and wait for an updated model (if there is one). My boots are now useless for winter, but otherwise amazing, sturdy, waterproof, comfy boots!

Système TOD très utile et facile d'utilisation
Le système Traction On Demand est très intéressant, plus de crampons à mettre ou à enlever, ceux-ci (en inox, donc ne rouillent pas) sont intégrés dans la semelle. Il ne suffit que de tourner la mollette derrière le talon pour les faire entrer ou sortir. Trois points négatifs: Ils sont très chers (300$, par chance, je les ai achetées en spécial), Le système TOD rend la botte plus lourde, et tercio, après quelques utilisations, un des crampons sur une des bottes ne veut plus entrer lorsque je les remet en mode normal. Il y aurait lieu d'améliorer le système de rétractation.
