Although we in Southern California don't have the winters that others have, it can still get cold around here, especially at night. I love these boots because they're comfortable--the heel isn't too high and they're fuzzy on the inside. I also like the way they look. The sizing is true to size. The only even remote criticism I would have is that because these are not lace-up boots I can't get them quite as tight as I like, and I like them tight around the ankles. All in all though, these are cute and comfortable boots that I expect to last many years.
