This is a very well made and tough boot, and it is extremely comfortable. I've worn it for 2 months and it is VERY well made. It would be perfect if only the soles were made of a different material. The soles are a hard rubber that may be great for concrete, dirt or to repel oil, but in snow and ice they are very slippery. Also the lugs on the soles have rounded edges, which will not bite into snow. So if you need a winter boot, look elsewhere.
