It was delivered earlier than expected so that is a plus! I used it on my trip to Canada and I am glad I purchased these. Sorel boots have been known for sustaining winter weather thus I decided to give this one a shot. I do love the color combination of this one. I love that you can walk on snow/ice without feeling like sliding all over the place (although, still take precaution when walking in icy steps). The only downside may be is that it is not as warm as I expected it to be, note that I used wool socks and even at one point worn two socks but seems like some of the wet snow or moisture can get in the boots! My toes were freezing after each use though. I have spend most days out walking about in Quebec say 7 hours/day and by the end of day, my toes need some relief. hahaha. So I'm not sure if its the boots or that Canada is so freaking cold. Whatever it is, I still like this boots, just note to wear two socks, or even limit time outside in the cold.
