True to its size , had a wide shoe that I needed for the snow to walk around in Lake Tahoe. I wore the shoe for two days doing vaious activities in the snow and it kept the snow out. I suggest wearing gators with the shoes so the snow does not get between the pants. I wore the shoes around town and in the snow and my feet were kept dry. This is a great shoe is you do not like walking around in a big limiting boot all day long.
