Typically I like Miz Mooz shoes, but this boot is very stiff poor quality leather, which makes it VERY difficult to zip.  The zipper is hard and unresponsive. The foot part of the boot is comfortable and stylish, but you better have plenty of "struggle time" to don the boot. I suspect cold winds would make this boot even less comfortable because there is no lining!!! In a boot, you get what you pay for!!
