I used these these to walk around snowy Keystone Co. I stayed on the sidewalks and street and avoided snow . These felt warm and snug and i could walk long distances if I wanted to in them. Pretty water proof as long as you are not in knee high snow for the most part. I didn't test it because I didn't want to ruin them. I am short about 4'10 so I was worried they would make me look stumpy but they come up mid length and look ok. I don't think any boot on a  short woman is going to look as fab on a tall person (personal preference) but it does the job. I could wear it wth a long sweater dress or jeans. I wish they were sightly shorter, like egg's shortest type of boot but I like them better than Uggs. No complaints. Good price for the money. Comfy. Exactly as shown. They do the job. If you found this review helpful please let me know. Feel free to ask any questions. Have a good day!

UPDATE: WENT BACK TO COLORADO, walked through heavy snow and they were water proof. I was in and out of heavy snow max 20 min. I didn't stand still and tried to avoid it but def stayed dry walking through heavy snow.
