I've already got quite a few pairs of Timberlands so this is just another really nice pair of boots to add to my collection. I'm actually in the army so I appreciate good casual boots. There's about a foot of snow where we are now and I just treck through it. These boots don't absorb the moisture from the snow, and are very well insulated so that if you were to just stand in the slush, your feet and legs wouldn't feel a thing. I normally don't have to break Timberlands in, but this pair did take a few days before they formed properly to my feet. Anywho. Very satisfied.
