I live in MN and I'm a hunter, fisherman, tracker of any and all wild game. I'm in LOVE with these boots so much that I ordered 2 of them and the boots with the wood heals that are so comfortable it amazes me that I can wear heels again! Thank you TIMBERLAND for listening to the women that wear these not just because they look great but the comfortability and warmth is priceless! Ann K.
