These boots are well made, look and feel great, and are great in snow or ice . Hence the 5 star rating. However, please be advised, you cannot wear them on any scratchable surface.

I was surprised by the aggressiveness of the metal rods in the tread. They will leave marks and scratch any surface you walk on. I can't wear them to work, I did once and left marks on the tile floor in the lobby. You can't put them on in the bedroom and walk to the front door because they left marks on my linoleum hallway. They really are only good for walking in snow and ice.
