I wanted a winter boot that I could wear in bad weather, but still look cute at the same time. These boots fit the bill! I love the deep burgundy color. Definitely adds a nice pop of color, and the height is what I wanted. They feel warm, and soft on the inside. I wore them in deep snow, and my feet didn't get wet! The only thing is the insole of one shoe slips out when I take them off, but I just slip it back in. So not a big issue. I know most reviewers claimed they ran small, but I took a risk and bought my size and they fit well. I think it depends on what kind of socks you wear. I generally wear thin, low cut socks..so it fit true to size for me. Looking forward to wearing the Brooklyn boot around Brooklyn this winter!

UPDATE FEB 2014: Wore these boots today in snow and slush and by the time I walked to the train my feet were soaked. So disappointed. Now I have to buy another pair that's truly waterproof. Kamik Brooklyn boot fails my Brooklyn winter storm test. Another reviewer mentioned they only last one winter, this is my second winter wearing them and they did not hold up, my feet were cold and wet after a 10 min walk in the slush. Grrr.
