I love, love, love these boots!  I bought these boots because I wanted something I could walk around NYC in the colder weather in that weren't drafty and casual like sneakers and more streamlined and elegant than Uggs. These boots hit the spot!  They are comfortable, warm, and water resistant if not waterproof. I wouldn't walk through a puddle with them but I have walked through the rain. I have worn these all day with no issues. Note -- I do have somewhat narrow feet, as a lot of commenters have mentioned, they do tend to be cut a bit narrow. So if you have wide feet, or bunions, these might not work for you. I'm a size 9 shoe, but I always buy my boots and sneakers a half size up, so 9.5.  I love these boots so much that I went to buy them in red and they were gone!  I wrote to the company and was told that they would not be issuing these boots again.  Say it ain't so, La Canadienne!  I'd buy these in blue and red if I could.
