These are sort of a 'hybrid' between an irrigation style boot but with with insulation on the inside and and good, cushioned (but firm) sole and a great tread and REALLY grip on the ice.
My assistant had a pair in her office and a couple other guys at the shop had them AND I had been needing some better boots for winter and with the massive snow fall we experienced last week I decided to give them a try.
They are BETTER than I expected and for a slip on have pretty good support and are easy to walk around in. A thick wool sock on top of a thin, cotton high rise fills the gap well and my feet did not get overly hot in them in the 20-30 degree temps. I also really like the 'high rise' uppers.
I am not going to climb mountains with them but they have enough support for moderate outdoor activities in snow and the tall uppers make a HUGE difference as well. I recommend them for anyone needing a better winter/spring waterproof yet warm boot.
