I bought a pair of Eskimo Bearpaw boots last Winter and absolutely loved them. Wore them with my jeans and leggings and had no problems keeping my feet warm, dry and comfortable on cold concrete as I did my "court yard" duty every morning in the cold Winter we had last year. My students love them...they feel great and if you feel you need a bit of support,insert some soles from the drug store...but I have never had a problem with these boots. They are true to size so wear thin socks or sock liners...or leggings.
