Very Nice Shoes, February 16, 2010
These shoes are good for walking in snow and are well made. I bought them because my toes are ALWAYS cold and I wanted a boot I could go hiking in and walk in the snow. They keep my feet warm enough in cold weather, but they are not the warmest boots I have owned.
The "Arc 6" is different than I had imagined. At first it feels strange to walk on them, like I am rocking forward. But after a day, I didn't notice it anymore. What I read in the insert when I got them is that the arc is designed for better hip placement...So far so good.
They fit true to size for me (I am always a size 8) My sister, who is a size 7.5 said that they were tight in the middle of the foot when she tried my shoes on. For me they are fine - perfect in the middle, but wide at the toe and a little wide at the heel; However, this allows me to wear thick socks.
They are great in snow - waterproof and seem to clean easily so far. But, the traction is not that good on ice (there are a lot of ice patched where I live and I've slipped a couple of times). I've had other boots that grip better on ice.
Overall, they are comfortable and warm. And they have a cute design from the side, but from the top, they are a little boxy.
The only things that keep me from giving this shoe a 5 star rating is the grip on ice, not as warm as I had hoped (although pretty good), and the design is a little boxy. Other than that, a very good and well made shoe - great for snowy weather!

proven good during winter hikes, July 30, 2011
I bought those shoes for a snowshoeing - hiking in the relatively deep snow fur 4-5 hours and for temperatures around 15-25.
They are very warm, comfortable and waterproof. I am very pleased with this product. Still looks good after a season of using it in the snow.

Warm and comfortable, January 5, 2011
These keep my feet warm in ice and snow - and that is saying a great deal. Very comfortable for long periods of hiking and standing. Not the cutest, but hey, the rest of its features make up for it.
