Needed a serious boot for shoveling deep snow and this model is sort of like a "mullet".  It's serious on the bottom and party on the top.
Actually, it keeps your feet dry and warm.  If it's really high snow you'll need to brush the snow off the fuzzy material on top but the snow doesn't penetrate it.  They fit well, I wear thicker socks when
I'm outdoors shoveling so I get a 1/2 size larger - no problem.  They didn't hurt from the get-go and are a nice streamlined snow boot ~ not the heavy clunky type which I did not want to end up with.
