I purchased these boots for a business trip to northern Idaho. I wanted boots that were warm, comfortable to wear, easy to put on and take off, and tall enough for 8-12 inch deep snow, if needed. These boots fit the bill and they had a top that could be turned down to make a furry cuff - really cute. What I didn't expect was the comfort. These boots are warm but not hot and so comfortable to wear. They are skid proof and after walking on ice and through 8 inch deep snow in 13 degree weather my feet stayed warm and dry. I would recommend these boots to anyone.
