Very happy with these boots. Super warm, snow collar helps keep feet dry when plowing through stuff well up on the knee. Strap adds some decent ankle support when scuffing around on uneven/slippery surfaces. Were comfortable right out of the box and so far have had absolutely no leakage. About the only minor complaint I could make is that they are a little tedious to lace up as the laces bind at each eyelit - have to tighten up one set of eyelits at a time.
