Love these boots. Perfect for cooler California weather. I don't think I would recommend them for snowy places though. They are light weight and the traction is not super good, but they are perfect for where I live (Southern California) and are great for taking my dogs for a walk. I also wear them to work on cold mornings. They are super comfy and at an amazing price (I got them at $14.99 and $9.99). I have bought 4 pairs so far. I grab them when the price goes down. When I went to NYC in December I had to buy hardier boots that looked the same, as I needed ones that could handle the snow. But for just relaxing, going to the store, running errands, etc, these are the best. I live in them until the temps reach 80.
