These boots were comfortable and stylish looking, not clunky or stiff like my other snow boots. I wore these to shovel the driveway and 3 of my neighbor's, so I was outside in 20-30 degree weather for 3 hours in 4-6inches of snow and my feet stayed warm the whole time. I couldn't have asked for a better boot, other than I wish the shaft was 2-3 inches higher, and I noticed snow kept sticking to the middle of the footbed sole, so I kept having to tap my toe on the ground to dislodge the extra snow build-up. I never slipped, but there wasn't much ice to test them out on, just some slippery packed snow. I hope this helps.
