The first winter boots, which is really waterproof. Actually, I do not need rubber boots, but I made the experience that will eventually leak all other winter boots. So I thought to be with a lined wellies rid of the problem. And so it is. Even on ice I have a good grip with the Trethorns. The feeding is good enough, I never had cold feet, did so but also rare problems. And to my delight, not sheepskin but lambswool. I prefer that. Especially pleasant I find the wide entry, so I can slip into the boots easily without bending down. By the way the boots does not chafe then my pretty strong legs, but are still good grip while running. The lacing in the back I do not use really. Even now in the transitional period when forming deep puddles on the muddy parking I am very satisfied with the boots. They are reliable waterproof and dirt can be removed easily play. The shoe always looks clean. And I also like the tricolor sole very good. So I would buy again.
