I'm sitting in my basement and my feet are frozen.  Air temp is 65, but even with thick wool socks my feet feel like ice cubes.  I'm concerned that any effort resulting in wet feet (e.g., sweating or snow falling into the boots) could result in an unhappy outing.

I haven't noted any problems when I'm walking with the boots other than a relatively-short break-in period when part of the heel was rubbing.  The boots appear to be well-made.

Best anticipated use for these boot?  Snow blowing or walking to get the mail... something where you can duck back into the house and warm up your toes before you get frostbite.

Worst anticipated use for these boots?  A long hike with a rest-stop where your feet can get chilled.  Ensure that you take along an extra pair of socks!
