Well I took the plunge and bought these boots on sale and I tried them out this weekend and WOW.
I wasn't sure if any boot was worth paying over 100 buck and now I am impressed. These boots are very warm and water proof. Theya re also nice a breathable and so your foot doesn't sweat.
This weekend we went from 8 inches of slush to hard ice and I was prefectly fine in bot the slush and the ice.
I usually wear a 12 but the 13 actually fit better.
