These are really great boots. I bought them two winters ago, and they have held up beautifully. My feet are always warm and dry in them, and the treads are excellent, so no slipping and falling. I'd probably get a darker color next time (though I really love how these look, for a big old clunky moon boot), just because it has been hard to keep them clean over time. There is a bit of wear at the ankle, where they often rub against one another, but overall, I'm very impressed by their endurance, comfort, warmth, and stability. I have a history of getting really sore feet when I walk a loteven in good sneakers or walking shoesbut never in these. Whether I'm walking in the city, or walking winter trails in national parks (pretty easy trails, mind you, these aren't hiking boots) for hours, the worst thing that ever happens in these boots is my feet get hot. Owning these make me much happier to spend time outside in the winter. When mine give out, I will come back for another pair.
