I bought these boots for a camping trip in Santa Cruz. Ok, so no snow, but the weather dropped below 20 degrees, and my feet stayed pretty toasty and dry. It rained a good deal of the time, and I was out tromping through the woods. The boots held up no problem. Mud washed right off, my feet stayed dry, and even better, the gripping soles on these shoes were awesome!

Now, I will admit that even cheap knockoff ugg boots did fine too, ($30) but didn't keep my toes dry. These boots look great with leggings and jeans, are soft and cozy, and can take all the bad weather thrown at them.

I agree that they were a little tight around the leg, until I adjusted the laces a little. Now they are perfect, and are awesome for all purposes.

I was never impressed with Teva before, those dumb sandals everyone wears with huge hiking socks are hideous AND make you feet smell. Even after wearing these boots for a week in the same thick wool socks, they smelled fine! (I did cheat and add a chunk of cedar in each shoe at night, but still)

Great boots, and for a good price. PS I got the beluga color, which is wonderful in person, very gray/green.
