We opted for the elephant shoes for Ricosta because he was bechrieben as winter boots and waterproof. We have not been disappointed. The shoe is not as clunky as other winter boots also lighter than a comparable elephant shoe. It keeps your feet warm and dry, despite cold, wet Carnival time on the road. About cold feet, our son has not complained. I would recommend this shoe. Additional: The Elephant Shoe has been damaged by the run Cycling on the sole. Braking with the shoes. We have been purchasing the Ricosta far not regretted.
