This is the 2nd time I've purchased this shoe... the first time was at least 3 years ago... maybe more.  They are warm when you need them warm and not too hot when it's mild out.  I use these every day to walk dogs in Western NY (farm country).  I spray them with a waterproofing before wearing the first time(not sure if you need to) and my feet never get wet!  I like the way they fit because my toes are long and straight and my feet are sort-of wide/flat - but there's plenty of room for my toes without looking like I have mickey mouse boots on!  I would never spend this much money on a pair of shoes I didn't absolutely believe in.  Buy them - you won't be sorry.
