I bought these for my wife and she is extremely pleased with the boots.
The use of the product is for hiking and walking through forest trails often with snow on the ground.
For this use the product is excellent,
The quality of the product is very high, and the styling is also very good.
The lower part of the boot and sole is firm but still flexible. This makes a very good boot for the purpose I noted above.
I have read mixed notes about the sizing, and my experience is that the boot is just slightly under sized. I bought my wife one size up (bought size 8, she wears size 7) and she found it a perfect & extremely comfortable with a thick pair of winter socks.
