Stlish, warm and waterproof. Can't ask for much more than that in a winter boot. I wear these to work, or out on snowy days. Seemed true to size.

How do you most use this product?: outdoors
Update - I've worn these boots all winter. Love them! They keep my feet warm even in the coldest temps with thin socks on. (I live in Scandinavia where it can get pretty cold) They still look brand new and fit even with thicker socks on. Although there is the issue of them not having the best traction in ice or slippery snow, they're great in the rain. I would buy these again and recommend them to anyone!

How do you most use this product?: As winter boots in a cold climate
Wore these boots all over Italy during a cold, wet Dec/Jan. We walked in the rain day after day, an inch deep in Venice. Have day-hiked in them on dirt trails in the rain. Final verdict: they are absolutely waterproof and extremely warm, and best of all, they are very comfortable, even worn over jeans.
