I attend college in Michigan and bought this boot because I had been looking for something stylish, yet weather-resistant that I could wear to church with my nice outfits.  This seemed as though it would fit the bill for keeping my feet dry and cozy.  The good part is that the boots are indeed stylish, and I've already gotten several compliments from people who have seen them.  The bad part is that they don't keep my feet as warm as I would like.  I will admit, I have poor circulation in my extremities, which makes it difficult for any boot to keep my feet warm, no matter how insulated they are (even my pair of Sorel boots sometimes don't work), but I was still hoping that these might prevent me from having to wiggle my toes and stamp my feet quite so much.  After all, it's miserable when you have to sit quietly through a church service with icy cold feet!  Overall, I would recommend these boots to someone who has good circulation in their feet, because that's what is going to keep your feet warm in the long run.
