I bought these in 2010 winter. Have worn them full time in Philly winters. They are super comfy, very soft and I am able to wear them on my jeans. I wanted something comfortable for my long city walks in snow and I am totally satisfied. They hold you very well even on slippery ice. Have used them for more than 2 years now and they are still in great shape. The only tiny complain is that they are not very feminine looking. But I still love them :)
