These boots have now been with me since October and I've worn it every snowy or cold day. I was with them a lot, dance, walk, stand, drive a car, ... and I'm thrilled. They are insanely comfortable, keep very warm and durable. If they should break at some point, I would order them again without hesitation! Before wearing, and then from time to time, you should edit it with Impregnierspray to keep them tight.
