I recently started snowshoeing and needed a shorter boot. These are perfect - both with the height and they keep my feet so warm. I live in Minneapolis and took these boots with me to northern Minnesota in January. Even in frigid cold, my feet never even felt a chill.
From surviving slippery grocery store parking lots, to winter dogpark trips, to snow shoveling, these boots do it all with comfort, a great fit, and excellent style. They do a great job of keeping the snow out and feet warm.
My first pair I got when I was 14 years old and after 37 years, had to let them go finally because the tread was gone. pulled the trigger after I had none for 6 years and best purchase because they still live up to my first pair. Bought size 6 1/2 as I have a high instep and wear a 7 normally in shoes. Just change out the liner every three years and the boot will last another 37 years. Better traction on this boot. Large toe box too. Regular socks are enough.
