I bought the shoes in the first place for my office job, as I have while working often cold feet. The shoes are wonderful cuddly warm through the lining, the color like also very good, especial if you really want to have blue :) Since I have Schuhgöße 37.5, the 38er shoes are quite big, but is not bad either, so additionally thick lambskin inserts fit in. The sole is nice and thick and the heel is beautiful stabiel. For winter shoes highly recommended.
