I was in the US military so I've worn many pairs of boot and I must say these are the best I've ever owned. They're extremely light and comfortable, but at the same time feel rugged and tough. The soles are sturdy and have great traction, but don't weigh a ton. The wool insole does make you warm, but if you're gonna have your feet actually covered with snow it behooves of you to wear some thick socks, as your toes might still get a bit chilly (even though the wool goes all the way to the toes).

The only downside is that this style (with the wool inside) is not available waterproof, but I took care of that myself using a kiwi, waterproofing spray.

All and all I'm incredibly satisfied with this boot, and I am sure I'll be buying many more pair of Palladium boots in the future.
