I love the look and height of these boots. The grip on them is fantastic, even on really slick water-topped ice. The lacing helps them fit around my athletic calves properly while the zip makes getting them on and off quick and easy. I do wish the laces were longer - once I adjusted them for my calves I couldn’t use the top eylet anymore. They are waterproof enough for typical snow and slush, but I haven’t worn them in rain or serious puddles yet (definitly wipe them dry so they don’t get stained though). They’re warm enough for most things, but I wouldn’t recommend wearing them for longer than a quick walk if it’s -15C or colder outside without seriously warm socks inside. They fit a bit small, so if you’re at the edge of a size, size up. I find them a bit stiff around the ankles, heels, and toes; the heel in particular rubs uncomfortablly, though so far it hasn’t caused blisters.
