Little did I know how good these would be. I, unexpectedly, ended up moving to Denver Colorado area (from DFW Texas) in the middle of winter, just after receiving these, and I could not be more pleased with how well they handle the ice and snow. They have great grip and the insulation does wonders for my my feet/ankles. They are high quality and very well made. My only thought is that I have to work to keep the white rubber clean and the brown leather is not as dark as I was expecting. But I absolutely loves these and I am planning on buying another pair. Highly recommended!!
