"I agree with all of the other reviewers. They made it through the first big NYC snow weekend this year, including the dirt/salt/slush puddle at every curb, with flying colors. They look like new - no water stains or salt lines. Part of me would have preferred a leather upper, but then I might not have been too precious about them to go splashing around in the street in them. I appreciate the roominess in the toes, the good tread on the bottom and that not a drop of moisture made it inside. I gave it 4 stars because it remains to be seen how long they last (another reviewer has be cautious) but then the price is pretty good if they last the full winter."
