I ordered these because I was in need of a new winter shoe. I previously had a pair similar to this, but they had no real tread on them so I slipped a lot in the winter on the ice and snow. When I found these with the aggressive tread, I was excited to try them out! It is still September, so I have not been able to wear them in the snow and ice yet, but I have worn them with jeans, and they are very comfortable and soft to wear. The only thing I can say as a con to them is the sizes run a little on the small side by about 1/2 a size. I'm hoping they will stretch the more I wear them as I don't really want to return them for just 1/2 a size difference. I am also wondering if they are a little tight because of the fluffy fur that's in them. I'd hate to send them back because they are a little tight only to find out the thickness of the fur was the problem and a pair 1/2 a size bigger would be too big once the fur gets smashed down from frequent wearing.
