Pro:

Not terribly unattractive ;)
Waterproof
Perfectly padded
Good stability/traction in slush/mud

Con:

Kinda funny looking to an ol' f&%t like me. ;)

Comment:  Bought these because the shoes I'd been wearing tormented my arthritic feet.  Hopes fulfilled!  These 967s are so comfortable that this winter I've been wearing them daily, even indoors in lieu of my slippers, yet they are also stable and rugged enough to take me comfortably down forest paths and over unpaved roads during mild-moderately inclement weather.
