Although I have not worn these boots out in bad weather, yet, since they are brand new, they look like a perfect, warm, sturdy boot for wearing in deeper snow. I love the color, two-tone quilted and suede trim, and the fur trim along the front, lace closure and top edge of the boot, providing extra warmth. These boot laces can be pulled tight to provide for a nice, snug fit. They do not have a deep tread on the bottom, but I think they will provide adequate traction in icy and slippery conditions. The rubber protection covering the toes will also help keep my feet warm and dry in inclement weather, which is what I was looking for. They are very stylish, too, and most of my pant legs fit over the top of the boot, or tucked in. Love that this boot is available in half sizes, too, for a better fit!
