I bought these boots to wear when I go snowshoeing, but ended up wearing them all winter.  They're incredibly warm without suffocating my feet, and kept me dry even in the rain/snow mix.  The lining is soft, the outside is sturdy, and the traction was a god sent walking through the icy parking lot into work every day.  The tongue doesn't separate so the ankle support is great, and I can leave the laces untied for easy slip-on/slip-off convenience.  Totally worth the money, I'm glad I made the investment.  I wore them all winter and there is zero wear on them, I know they'll last me for years of use.
