These boots have amazing traction!  They have these little rubber studs on the bottom that grip into snow and snow packed ice.  They help keep you stable on you feet!

I did not get them from amazon because I found them in a local tourist store, they had a small stain on the toe so I was able to get them for an incredible deal.

The sizing seems funny to me.  I wear a 9.5 in Nike, Timberland, Keen, and many other brands, but a 9 in sorel's but in Hi Teck I wear an 8!  I checked multiple times that is an 8 women's!  Weird but cool because the great discount.  If I wanted to wear thick thick socks with them I probably would have gone with a 8.5.

I have to give high marks to the laces on these boots!  They are LONG enough to actually tie and even double knot, and they stay put!  When I lace my Keen boots the laces are way to short and they slip and don't stay tied.  These laces rock!

I love the attached tongue, no snow is getting in these babies and the pull tight at the top keeps snow and air out of the top too.

I wish they were warmer, You can play in the snow with them but don't stand for hours on ice, you feet will get cold!  But that seems to be the case with almost all boots that I have tried in this Colorado Winter!

The boots are cute, support so well, and I am happy with them.
