I've been wearing these boots pretty much everywhere for the last 3 weeks in the Michigan winter.. I have walked comfortably for 4 miles in snow, trudged through puddles and stayed dry, been outdoors in it for over 2 hours at a stretch and stayed warm... however the only time(s) I have had trouble is on icy roads (to give a sense of the extreme road condition I had the boots on - I was out on a day schools shut down due to icy roads) -- the boots do not have good grips for these conditions and I very nearly slipped a couple of times.. I have had trouble under less severe icy road conditions as well..

I generally prefer a Wide size. Ended up buying 1 size bigger than I normally wear.. It fits perfectly on the sides, with a little bit of wiggle room around the toes which is taken care of by a pair of thick socks or an insole.

Its a good investment that will definitely last me for a few years..would recommend it - but be careful under icy conditions.
