I purchased these boots based on reviews and I have no regrets.  I love them!  I ordered them for trips made to family who reside rural MA.  Activities are centered around the outdoors and I needed a pair of boots that could stand up to large snowfalls and cold temperatures.  After two visits, these boots have done the job and looked great while doing it.  I am very please with this purchase.

I own several pairs of winter boots and my husband questioned, hard, why I would purchase yet another pair but after wearing them a few times, he agreed with me on the necessity of their purchase.  From his point of view, they were worth it because I didn't complain about my feet being cold, getting wet or having to go a different route because I was afraid to ruin my boots.  You could buy more expensive boots but I doubt they would provide the same benefits (I know I own a pair that look really good but are useless for winter weather).  These boots are worth every cent.
