Was introduced to this boot through my adult daughter's wish list. (She bought a pair for her twelve year old son. She and her son currently wear the same size right now so she threw his boots on one rainy day and was hooked.) I bought her a pair for Christmas and decided to try them myself. They are comfortable and easy to put on and take off thanks to the handles. Might need warm socks for extended periods of time (more than a couple of hours) in snow/ice. Very pleased with this purchase.
