Pretty good boot. Good fit. Pretty comfortable. The hyper grip sole works well on hardpacked snow. It does not work so well on glare ice, which was the primary reason I bought the boots. However, the boot seems to be well constructed and is certainly warm. It doesn't provide the traction that my kahtolla micro spikes do. The winter here seems to be neverending. I walk a lot in pretty rough terrain. I ended buying some GoatHead Sole spikes, which screw into the soles of other boots. They are superb and are gentle on my boot soles.

if you buy these with the expectation of totally superb traction, you will be disappointed on glare ice.
