Made extremely well; heavy-duty/durable; warm and water-proof; true to size.  I've only had them about a week, but in Michigan winter's, they are ideal and I am thoroughly pleased with the performance.  I purchased the otter color, but think I would have preferred the sand.  I think the sand would look a bit more feminine, but if you don't care about that, the otter is a good color to go with black or brown outer-wear.  I highly recommend these boots.  They are a bit pricey, but you won't be sorry you spent the money.
