I've been looking for a good non-summer (fall,winter, spring) boot for a while. These are it!  They are sturdy-soled, broke in well, and don't necessarily shake the house every time I take a step.  The soles are tank treads, and with some strap-on spikes these are all I need for winter use in everything but the deep fresh snowfalls.

For those wondering about sizing. I normally wear a 12-13 shoe. On a lark, I bought the 12 boot and it is a bit loose. Not bad enough to wear and tear my feet, though. During the winter I wear thicker socks while outdoors, and insoles while on ice, so this is a perfect fit.  If you are wearing them for day-to-day casual style, then you should probably drop a half size or full size.
