I was really excited to get these boots. I purchased them at the beginning of the winter. The boots certainly do a good job at keeping your toes warm, but the laces do not go high enough up the leg of the boots, so if you are wearing them over your pants to avoid your pants getting soaked the top 4" of the boots flop over and look ridiculous! If they had added just a couple more lace loops these boots would be near perfect, but to me it makes a big difference.
