This is a very nice, "workhorse" of a winter boot. It is perhaps not for hard-core winter hiking, but good for day hikes in winter. Perhaps best for an all around winter boot, for working outside in the snow, shoveling, etc. Nice fit and comfortable. Good traction and not too heavy. It does seem that the lining is NOT removable, so make sure you dry it after every use (if it got wet with water or sweat) so it does not get smelly. For reference, I bought them on Amazon on sale for $65.
