I've worn these in a couple inches of powdery snow, but nothing too crazy, yet. They've held up really well! I did treat them with a good waterproofing spray, though. They're very warm and comfy. I have fairly muscular calves - they aren't huge, but I have definitely encountered boots that my calves can't squeeze into - and these fit fine. I run between a 6.5-7, but I read other reviews and got these in 7.5 - they fit well. Overall, I'm really happy with them. They're comfy, cute, and I love the cajun color.
