I will be buying these again, for sure! I already have my eye on a different color... They are a bit narrow. Did my toenail in for a week when I first started wearing them but I'm fine now. Great with or without socks. Super great support, but don't feel heavy or clunky. The suede on the gull grey is lovely and doesn't get marked up easily like some suede does. The lining is getting a little squished down but nothing like another brand I own. Great traction and warmth- I have already worn these out, sans socks, on an icy day and was fine. Now if only my daughter would stop stealing them... Guess I know what to get her for Xmas!
