The colour is beautiful. And the price is so good! The top of the shoes and the shaft is warm! The rubber is soft, and like all Kamik shoes, will probably lasts a long time. However, I had to return these, as the soles were really thin, the description said 1/2 inch, but it felt a lot thinner than that when I stood in them. Thin soles are pretty useless in Canadian winters, where it's supposed to provide a buffer between the bottoms of your feet and the ground. I suppose an insulated insole could have worked, but there wasn't enough room at the tops of the feet for both insoles and socks.
