Kept me warm and dry both on and off the slopes but cut wide, choose your size carefully
Wore these during a ski trip, also wore them recently while running errands while it was snowing a few inches here in Gotham, and stayed perfectly warm and dry even while kicking through the snow. Pretty good textured grippy bottom, but still have to step carefully on icey patches because was still slipping, thats just the nature of ice. The boots seem to have a wide fit in the toe box that make them look a little chunkier than necesary and feel really large overall even when I wear with really thick wool socks, so im taking off a star because I feel the sizing/cut could use some improvement to distinguish a size range between this wide fit and a more regular fit. Im usually a size 7.5/8 and ordered an 8 but if I had time to exchange them before my trip, probably would have sized down to the 7.5 and still have been comfortable with my thickest wool sock on and more support. The largeness doesnt allow me to have proper ankle support even when fully laced, I feel the strain a bit on my ankles soon after moving around in them, so I will consider buying a smaller size in future winter seasons, but these seem so durable I might not get a chance to rebuy them anytime soon, so am just doubling up on socks to wear these down in the mean time. Even still with the extra room, these are quite comfortable and reliable in the conditions and are fairly stylish given the performance and practicality. I was worried that snow and wetness would seep though because of the suede look of the outer in the product shots on amazon, but in person the outer is a tougher more nylon like material that just looks like its suedey for more style but still plenty of practicality. Honestly the best part was putting these on after being in uncomfortable ski boots all day. With the extra toe room and the fuzzy inner lining, feels like youre walking on clouds by comparison.
