I like these for light snow (I'm talking a dusting) and rain. There isn't much grip to them so I imagine they won't work well in icy situations but we ended up not getting a lot of snow or ice this year so I have yet to try these out in heavy snow and ice. My only gripe, and perhaps this is because I need to break them in more, is that the back of the boot tends to rub against my ankle and it caused a blister on the back of both my ankles. I'm not docking a star for that though because I fixed that problem by wearing socks that were a bit taller and thicker or wearing a bandaid over the area that rubs. Like I said, that problem could also only be part of the breaking in period. I haven't gotten to wear them a ton yet. But I do really love them. They're cute!
