"great stylish boots, keep your feet warm and the treads have cool feature that sticks when its cold"

love these boots, keep my feet warm and dont slip. the treads get harder when it is cold out and thus provide more traction. they run a little small so buy at least a half size big
I have no experience w/ water in these boots, but am yet to have an issue in the snow - very reliable & warm. In regards to sizing, I wear 11w and I have found that a 12 has treated me well; providing enough room for toe space & wool socks (good boot fit). Cool style and the ladies love them. Bottom line, do it.
When it is 20 degrees and the snow is 6 inches deep it can take me some extra motivation to get out the door. I needed a boot that was stylin' and functional (durable and warm) to get my groove and give me a little boost out the door. These are just that -- groovy (a.k.a, 'back to berkley'); I feel a bit like an ethnographer for National Geographic wearing them. They're great for long jaunts across campus to teach my classes, and these boots keep my feet snug during my one mile walk to the local coffee shop on those icy and snowy mornings.
just bought them and I am in love with the way these boots look and feel. BUT not sure if I will be keeping them. not too heavy, waterproof, and comfortable. stylish so I would feel comfortable wearing them any wear too. CONS: the bottom of these don't seem like they will hold up to the test of time and the top does use suede which might not hold as long as leather. SOOO bottom line I will be exchanging these for the north face Ballard i think.

These boots are surprisingly comfortable. I wear them much of the time. One thing I didn't truly appreciate until I received them was the fact that they are flat bottomed like a regular shoe. I love this about them. Any yea, they hold up nicely is harsh weather too. For the price, I don't think I could have found a more appropriate boot.
I just got them today and WOW! At first they were pretty snug, but wearing them around town just once they were great. They feel tough, and very comfortable. I'm excited for the weather to get colder and wetter to really put these to the test!
Bought this for my boyfriend. He was looking for a boot that he can wear pretty much to and from his car and possibly at the office in the winter. He says they are really comfortable and fit well. He normally wears an 11 but i went up a half size to 11.5. Really nice looking, light weight and not too bulky like other boots.
