I really liked the boots when I got them. They kept my feet warm and was great in snow. Then on December 16,2017 I was walking my little furbabies and for the first time in 16 years that I have lived in a snowy and icy state I slipped and fell and injured myself. These boots don't have the grip on the bottom for walking on ice, I have another pair of boots that I paid a lot less for and they have a better grip on snow and ice. Again the first week of Feb. I was almost to my door to go inside and slipped again. This time I hit my head on my brick walkway. I had a black eye and a goose egg size bump above my right eye. I no longer wear the boots out in snowy and icy weather even though they cost me a lot of money. I will wear them out if it is just raining or clear and I want to keep my feet warm.
