"I needed a pair of snow boots. I immediately got compliments on them. They are really warm. If you're just going out in the show and you wear warm socks, you should be fine. I also liked that these are totally waterproof. It's been freezing, snowy, icy, and wet out. These have not yet failed me, aside from my feet maybe being a bit cold anyway without proper socks. If you plan on wearing thicker socks with it, maybe get it a half size larger. I really love them and am so happy with them. Also, the lining on the inside is super soft and warm. It also reaches down to the bottom and opposed to some boots which are only lined at the top for show."
