Very comfortable boot

Very comfortable boot, and supports the foot superbly.
I have not had them out in serious weather yet but looking forward to it.

Great boots

I love these boots. They are really comfy and snug. I ordered my normal size and can feel the end on big toe so perhaps go a size bigger. I've been rock pooling in them and kept my feet totally dry.

Immediately comfortable

Immediately comfortable, they keep my feet dry during walks with boggy water and I have plenty of room for my toes.

Good for casual use in at least -30°C

I had these in casual use this winter in Finland, and not once did my feet get cold, even when walking in -30°C. On the other hand, I did not stand still for notable periods, so I can't say how they would handle that.

The sole also has okay grip on ice and snow, they are not slippery like many summer shoes.
