I tried them on snow, crampons cling well. The size is good (I chose a size more than my dress shoes), I am comfortable, not too heavy as one might think by seeing, easy to put on and take off, I walked 16 km muddy, stony, and did not have sore feet, and they stayed dry. The leather looks good, smooth, a shot of wet sponge nickel and they are easier to clean than these shoes "technical" much more expensive to be seen in good time, but I am very optimistic .price canon for this quality, I recommend
