There cracking boots, got a pair for a mate a year or two back as he was suffering from cold tootsies. He loves them and they're lasting well and have no leaks yet. They were in the running for myself when after some warm winter boots but I can't wear TNF boots as they they cause my feet to pronate so I got a pair of Sorel 1964 pac boots. Think you'll like them as they're light, toastie and easy to maintain and pretty rugged. Can be a bit slippy on sheet ice (what boot isn't but a pair of grips will sort that out). You must've been a good boy this year to be getting a pair. Hope you enjoy them.
