My daughter wore these several times before the snow returned this month. She likes the fact that they are waterproof and that they have room for large wool socks to sort of function as liners. She needs them because the top of the boots have basically rubbed a raw spot on her calf on one side. She needs long pants tucked in or the heavy socks as a buffer. Still she says she would pick the same pair again if given the choice so I'm giving them four stars!
