After all these really cold days (for here at least) old size 13 finally got his footsies warm and toasty.  At first blush they look heavy and bulky.  That is far from the facts.  They are bigger than one's foot but that's good.  The extra width provides better stability to the foot and makes walking better especially in snow.  The weight is far less in fact than the look.  I expected the opposite and was delightfully surprised.  I, however, would not like to run a marathon in these boots.  Unlike other boots that I have worn, these slip on easy and when laced they fit perfectly.  I really like the top lace holder.  It is just the perfect add-on.  No water comes in unless you get over 8 inches deep in water or sloppy snow.  Then the water comes over the top and not much if the boot is laced properly.  Absolutely nothing comes through the boot itself.  Often boots have a break-in period.  Not these.  On and go with ease.

Bottom Line:  Big Foot would have another pair in a nanosecond and no equivocation.
