I love the look and it keeps my feet and toes very warm indeed.  However, as you may have seen in other reviews, these boots can not handle icy pavements - it slipped and slided like crazy.  I decided to keep them because it's so warm and I ended up raking the bottom to try to create more traction (not much success so far).  Where I live, it is mostly snow rather than ice so I can get away with it.
