I had the wind knocked out of me and was so confused by what had just happened. When I looked closer, I noticed that we had a chunk of ice along our driveway that was hidden by the freshly fallen snow. As luck would have it (isn&#8217;t it amazing how the Universe works sometimes), that same week I attended an ice catwalk event hosted by Mark&#8217;s to try out their\u00a0slip resistant Well Worn boots.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12357\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-1-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was skeptical at first because I always thought that my current boots were made for Canadian winter weather. Boy was I wrong. I learned that most boots (90%) rated by the\u00a0Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TRI) dont meet the minimum requirements to receive a rating of one snowflake for their performance.\u00a0To get one snowflake, the<br \/>\nboot has to meet the minimum standard, which is being able to walk on a 7\u00a0degree slope without slipping (7 degrees is the slope of a curb on a sidewalk).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ncSA49aj8tw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So I tried it out for myself!

I couldn&#8217;t believe the difference! Not to mention, the boots were super comfortable and warm. Two other very important factors for me when selecting winter boots. Oh ya &#8211; they&#8217;re also super stylish. I personally LOVE the beige colour, but it comes in black too!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12359\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-3-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Marks-well-worn-3.jpg 1564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look for the blue spots on the bottom of the boot.
