These snow boots are excellent for hiking in the snow, especially when the snow is loosely packed to a depth of over two feet.

It keeps your foot very warm and dry, and they are very easy to put on, which is very important because you may not always find a place to take off your regular shoes and put on those boots after wherever you might have parked your car, at a trailhead for instance. Also, they are very sturdy and solid, hence they keep you from tipping over if you get stuck in excessive snow, and also prevent you from slipping, due to the sole design.

In fact, they are so nice and warm, that I even use them around my house to shovel out the snow, even though we don't get too much snow here, just to get that extra feeling of comfort.
