I ordered these boots for me to use here in IL. My 19 year old college daughter came home that weekend and just like my Brook's running shoes, these somehow got to her college dorm and I haven't seen them since. She called to tell me yesterday that with 5 more inches of snow last night, her feet were comfy, warm and dry walking to classes...thanks to these boots! To hear that a college student is happy to have warm, dry boots is a great compliment in my book! Looks like a new pair will be on my wish list.
