I bought a brown pair of these boots last year and loved them, they are warm but not too warm and surprisingly when you wear them when the weather is milder your feet still don't get too hot! For the last 8 months I have been keeping my eye out for a deal on these black boots and finally on cyber monday they were 25% off!!  I love them! The only thing I didn't (initially) like about these boots vs the brown ones was the sole, it is not a solid rubber sole, it's foam rubber like flip flops. However, after wearing them and then wearing the brown ones, I feel that these have more cushion to them which is a definite plus.
