I bought this pair of boots to wear for a job interview and I was glad I did because it snowed on the day I was scheduled to go. I was shown the manufacturing facility and even though the plant facility is a dry one, I almost slipped because the soles of these shoes are slippery! After the interview, I had to head back home right away and I guess my feet swelled up during the flight because my ankles are rubbing against the back of the shoes and it hurt so bad. Perhaps next time I should only wear this on carpeted floors. Overall though it is comfortable just don't wear it like how I've done it. But I believed one reviewer saying it was very comfortable even though she went through an intercontinental flight! But then again, I have the widest feet on earth!
