These are great boots.
I needed some boots to use in cold weather or Colorado. My Bearpaw boots were warm and comfy but they were slippery so i decided to find some new ones. After research i decided on these. I am go glad i picked these, not only are they beautiful to look at, but amazingly comfortable.
I was surprised that there was no wear in period- comfort from the first wear.
Furthermore, they kept me warm -- which is a major plus, since i get cold very easily. The lowest weather i wore them at was -10F and they kept me nice and warm.
I wear a 8.5 shoe, but usually get a size 9 in boots since i like to wear thick socks when its cold. And a 9 was perfect with a thick sock :)
I did spray the boots with waterproof spray, just in case, so i can't comment on whether of not they are good in snow originally or not, but they did not soak thru when i walked in tall snow after the spray.
