I LOVE these boots!  I was dubious that they would be warm enough for a Chicago winter - my toes get cold easily.  But they are perfect!  If I wear wool socks sometimes they are too warm, so I will save the wool socks for the coldest days.  For now regular socks are fine.  I have worn them in snow and slush and even sledding with the kids, and they are plenty warm.  I like some arch support in shoes and I find these have enough.  They are so lightweight that my legs don't get tired like they do with regular winter boots.  My legs do not feel achey after walking around in these all day.  They are easy to pull on which is important for me with two little ones to worry about, I don't have time for laces and buckles.  I ordered the tan.  At first I didn't think I liked the color, but now I find they coordinate with a lot of coats.  They go with my navy colored winter coat and my cream colored coat.  They don't show road salt the way black boots might.  I feel they are very stylish in a casual way.  I couldn't be any happier with these boots.  They are the best I've ever owned.  And fantastic for the price.  I would definitely recommend.
