My dog likes long walks, and he doesn't care if there's snow on the ground or not. My regular snow boots are great for deep snow but not good for walking a couple miles, so I found these looking for a good, cold weather hiking boot. My foot size is actually 14W or 14E, but I usually order my winter boots slightly larger to account for boot socks. When I first put these on wearing boot socks they were tight and uncomfortable, so I broke them in wearing thin cotton athletic sock and they felt great. After about a week of walking I was able to comfortably wear my boot socks again.

These are very comfortable and very warm. I've taken 2 mile walks through 4 inches of snow in single digit temperatures and my toes never got wet or cold. I can wear them all day, drive my car without hitting the gas and brake pedals at the same time and I don't slip on the ice when my dog yanks on the leash. I don't wear them unless outside temperatures are below freezing but they're comfortable enough that I prefer them over my other hiking boots even when it's not snowing.

Update 18 March '13: After wearing these for about 4 months, and putting well over 200 miles of winter hiking on them, one of the eyelets has broken and cannot be repaired. The middle eyelet on each side isn't a sewn-on canvas strap or riveted metal ring, it's the rubberized side of the boot folded over, and that fold ripped right through at the top of the fold. And the lower metal ring (2nd eyelet from the top) is just too small for the plastic tip of the boot lace to fit through, otherwise I'd re-thread the other side's lace to bypass that eyelet level entirely. I've walked maybe 50 miles since that eyelet ripped out, and while the boot is just a little looser on my foot now than before, it's still comfortable enough for long walks.
