The boots seem rugged enough, appear water proof/resistant, well made, and will likely hold up reasonably well.  Unfortunately, they fail in the one area they really need to perform if they're going to be called a "Snow Boot" .. even with a liner sock and a wool sock, my feet got icey in temperatures that were only just a few degrees below freezing.  A "Snow Boot" should, at the very least, be able to keep ones feet from getting uncomfortably cold for a little while.  I could tell my feet were not going to stay warm within just 10 to 15 minutes of being out in the cold.  I think the biggest problem is that the soles are not insulated enough .. the sides and top of my feet actually felt OK.  The cold, however, almost immediately sucked the heat from the bottom of my feet.  One would think that boot designers would be familiar enough with real-world conditions to know that the soles need even more insulation than the rest of the boot, not less!  If a boot performs no better in the cold than a pair of mid-weight hikers, it has no right claiming a "snow boot" status.
