THE BOOTS ARE EASY TO PUT ON AND WARM

THE BOOTS ARE EASY TO PUT ON AND WARM. THE SOUL IS FIRMER THAN I HAD HOPED. I WEAR VIBRAM TOE SHOES AND VIBRAM FUROSHIKI SHOES THATS' SOULS HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY. I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING MORE SIMILAR TO THAT BUT I AM NOT DISAPOINTED BY MY PURCHASE.

Although they are very comfortable, they sadly cannot be used as winter boots

I have worn these boots for 1 week. Although they are very comfortable, they sadly cannot be used as winter boots. As soon as the velcro gets wet from salted winter slush. the straps no longer adhere and the boots and fall off. I was stuck in the frozen snow without functioning boots. I had to tie my boots to my legs with a plastic bag.

Pretty warm, wish the sole is flatter

Very comfy but of limited use

First the good:I like the shoes.They are very comfy. they are very small (in form factor); the only winter shoes for bigger feet (#11) that don't take full luggage. Also, I'm getting many compliments on them.Now the bad:They cannot be used in rain or even on very wet roads as the water will get on the top of the toe and soak inside instantly. They have zero water repellency.hey also cannot be used in snow because if you ever (even accidentally) unhook the velcro, it will not stick together until you dry them up. It happened to me and I hardly made it back home with a shoe falling off of my foot. I was maybe 100m from home. Don't absolutely go hiking in them or you might walk home in socks.I use them for walking to work and love them and as long as you avoid water, rain and snow deeper than few centimeters, they are great. I bought them for $38 and that's about the right price considering the limitations.If they make the leather at least water repellent and instead of velcro used metal hooks or buckles, the shoes would be great.
