"So far these boots are average. They are comfy since they are lined throughout, however I found that the sole was thin and I could feel everything when walking (almost like flats). Not necessarily a bad thing, but NYC doesn't have the most even streets and sidewalks so it can be a bit weird. It does have great traction though and I haven't felt that I was close to slipping in the snow. One other thing to note is that the leather part at the ankles is already wearing so it is lighter in spots where my boots may rub. Overall they are comfy, definitely waterproof and worth the price."
