This is a well-made boot. I expected it to be lined with sherpa, but there is only sherpa as an accent on the exterior.
The boot is a little stiff around the ankles at first and folds a little weird, at least for me. I have a blister on the point of my ankle because the material rubbed on it, but I'm sure this will go away after a while. It's only on one boot.

The tread on this boot is not as great as other boots I have. I don't know what it is. It seems like it would be very grippy, but it's surprisingly slippery on snow on ice. I expected better. My Khombu and Sporto boots, even Sporto boots not made for winter weather, have better grip than these boots.

They are very comfortable. The foot rolls really nicely form heel to toe when you take a step. I'm impressed by the construction of the boot.

In terms of sizing, I recommend going a half size up from your true size if you plan on wearing thick socks. I ordered by true size and I cannot put the boot on with thick wool socks. I have to wear thin socks. I was too lazy to exchange the boot ;)
However, that being said, this boot is still warm in freezing weather when I wear just thin socks. With my Khombu boots, like the Solar Lace 2, I have to wear thick wool socks or my toes freeze. With these boots, I was fine for two days walking through snow with just thin socks. That's awesome! I did find my feet got pretty warm when I was indoors though. I actually had to take the boots off! I've never suffered from hot feet before.

Oh, about snow. If you walk in snow up to your knees like I do, choose a different boot. This boot is NOT waterproof all the way up to the top. The boot is one solid piece and completely impermeable until about halfway up the boot. Then, the boot is no long one piece. The fabric that is right behind the laces, is it called the tongue?, separates from the rest of the boot at that point. I am SO surprised that a winter boot would have such a feature, because then that makes the rest of the boot highly likely to leak water onto your shins when trudging through snow. Granted, most people don't walk through snow up to their knees. But, for the price of this boot, I expected it to be completely snow-proof all the way up the boot.

A great boot, but now exactly what I need. I will keep them since they're cute and nice, but I'll need another boot for days when the snow is ridiculous.
