Size is right on with my regular sneaker size when wearing a heavy pair of socks.

The leather scuffs rather easily, so I've been spraying them in waterproof spray and rubbing them down every few days to keep the color consistent and hide the scuffs.

They've stayed waterproof in minimal snow work (1-6").

The traction is minimal in the snow. It's easily to slide. I've had better traction on Doc Martens and no-name KMart boots, but the Docs got cold and cracked very quickly and the no-name boots didn't last 1 winter without the heel tearing and the lace eyes tearing.

Overall, these boots are excellent for the price. On full-time wear, I'd say they will be good for one full winter and will be OK for a second winter, but won't look that fresh. I will buy another pair to replace these.
