Winter shoes are designed to offer extra protection during cold and wet weather and extra grip and traction on wet or slippery surfaces. Winter shoes typically feature uppers made of waterproof or water resistant materials to keep feet dry and interiors lined with materials such as fleece or shearling to insulate the feet from the cold. Also, they may have high-tech synthetic fabrics for warmth and breathability.

Quality material and comfortable enough for everyday wear if desired. I work in emergency medicine and wore these boots to work for a 4 hour shift with the intention of hiking afterwards...well it ended up turning into 12 straight hours on my feet without a hint of discomfort. I've mucked around in them, worn them in snow/slush and the waterproofing is solid. I'm an 11.5 and these fit true to size although they seemed a bit snug on my toes the first day or two however that soon went away (maybe pressure on the toe area while boxed?) Overall very satisfied, when you spend over 90 dollars on a pair of boots you expect comfort and quality and these have delivered. As far as long term quality I can't make any statements as I've only had them about a month.
Wears this shoe: Outdoor trekking mostly
