Gotta tell everyone...for what i used the boots for, they really performed perfectly...First of all please excuse my syntax...2nd....went camping with some friends in the Palomar Mtns, which are located in Southern California at an elevation of about 6500 ft.  When we first go there, it was snowing. I mean really snowing for Southern California with a day temp of 25 degrees.  I Put the boots on (with wool socks) while I set up my campsite.  Feet stayed warm and dry.  As nightfall began, the temp dropped. Away from the camp fire, my Suunto X10 indicated 18 degrees.  That's cold man for a Southern Californian. I don't care who you are.  Needless to say by the warmth of the fire everything was toasty warm.  What surprised me the most about these boots that while I was sedentary, my feet were warm and very comfortable.  No bull.

So too who ever reads this..These boots performed way beyond my expectation...especially for the harsh winters of Southern California.  You can take it from me, I truly believe that I was born cold blooded.  So with that being said, I really recommend these boots for all looking for an inexpensive winter boot.

Not sure how they fair in really harsh weather.  But I'm going to Colorado in about a week and will see.  Will post another comment on how they performed in that weather.
