I really needed a new snow boot this year and there weren't any that appealed.  I saw these in the store, but only in the lightest color(and more expensive).  My feet have also been cold all winter long.  These boots solved both problems at once.  We've had so much snow, and these trudge right through.  They have a great sole that grips well on ice.  And my feet have not been cold since I purchased these!  They are awesome.  I was not looking for style--but I guess they're stylish too.
