Comfy and warm even in subzero temps!
These boots have been great! I needed something warm enough to withstand the subzero Minnesota temps but not clunky like a traditional snow boot so I can still walk and hike. These are fantastic! I have slightly wide feet and normally wear a 7 in most shoes. I ordered a 7W. They fit perfectly, are relatively lightweight and not clunky. I usually only need to wear merino hiking socks or a my athletic socks and my feet stayed plenty warm. If you enjoy thick socks, then I would size up a half size. The arch support is fantastic as well and the achilles part is well designed - Supportive without being stiff and reinforced so it doesn't dig in at all. Its hard to have any complaints, but I guess my only complaint is the tread does not grip on ice as well as I had hoped and I did notice some snow balled up on my midsole but an occasional stomp took care of that no problem.

Zero complaints so far!
Update (11/21/23):I wore these on a hike today with my kids, and sank knee deep in mud trying to rescue my daughter (who was also stuck in the mud). Thank goodness they tie so securely - my daughters boots stayed stuck when I pulled her out of the mud and I had to fish them out, but these boots stayed on my feet securely. I did have snow pants on over them, but when I finally got unstuck my lovely boots were covered in thick black swamp mud. I thought for sure they were ruined, but figured I would try to hose them off anyway. Imagine my surprise when all of the mud rinsed off (I hosed them off while I was still wearing them) AND they stayed nice and dry inside! I loved them already but now I really appreciate how well-made and waterproof they are!Original review:I got these last week so I’ve worn them a few times now and I love them! Out of the box they felt stiff but still very comfortable. I usually wear an 8 in sneakers/boots and I ordered an 8; plenty of room for thick socks. Narrow/average heel and foot width, nice roomy toe box. Love the extra sturdy lace grips (idk the real name for them)! They’ve kept my feet toasty so far but the weather hasn’t been below 40° yet. Very grippy! Looking forward to wearing these for nature walks and hiking all winter!

BEST WINTER BOOTS!
I've searched and searched for good light weight snow boots that my feet do not slide in for so long! Previously, eight pairs were ordered and returned. THESE ARE THE PERFECT BOOTS! They are light for such well insulated boots too! My heels fit very comfortably, and my toes feel plenty of room without the boots being too large. I've now worn them in the 12inch fresh snow (with gators and snow shoes). I've also worn them in the -1F temperature (felt more like -14F) for 4.5mile hikes with my dog. I've hiked on super icy trails with cramp-on cleats, and the boots are really solid and work really well with those. My feet stayed nice and warm all the way. SUPER comfortable!!! I love the color (mine are beige), with a little bit of fuzzy showing at the top. So cute.I've read other reviewers saying that the boots tend to run small. So I ordered two sizes just in case: 6 and 6.5. I ended up keeping my usual size (6), and they are great!

Very stiff and clunky
The boots are clearly well made and would be durable. However they are very stiff and as sturdy as they are I’m not sure they would soften up much. I like to feel the terrain and these felt like walking around in ski boots. I am returning them.

I am a mail carrier in the Pittsburgh area. My job requires a boot that keeps my feet warm and dry for an 8 to 10 hour period. I have purchased so many boots that claim to be insulated, waterproof, light weight, only to be disappointed. I wore these boots with a -5° temperature outside recently and I can tell you my feet were warm, dry . These boots are lightweight. I walk up to 12 miles a day and I was comfortable from start to finish. And I am so thankful to finally have found a boot that is true to its description. I will never purchase another boot other than oboz for work. I am hoping they make some sort of tennis or light hiking shoe for the warmer weather.

Fantastic boot
I spent a lot of time researching my ideal winter boot. THIS IS IT. Warm, rugged sole, zero break-in time, perfect height. I work as a park ranger on a mountain, so I walk on concrete/asphalt a lot, which can wear boot soles down pretty quickly. I also need to stay warm in extreme conditions (-20 windchill is not uncommon). All winter I've worn these and they have held up fantastically. I am also a fan of the width, as I have wide feet and sometimes have trouble finding comfortable boots. I will be buying these boots until they stop being made.

These are extremely high quality. The arch support is great. The width is perfect for my wide feet. I have not had a nice pair of boots like this for over 10 years. The waterproof is no joke. I have crossed through many streams with no issues. Buy them.
