I was looking for snow/winter boots that I could wear to work and not look totally out of place. These fit the bill perfectly. They are warm, waterproof and provide good traction without looking like I am ready for the Iditarod.
The color is nice and all of the materials blend together well. I like that there is not too much color to them (the green is only on the laces and on the bottom of the boot). These are made for winter and provide great arch and ankle support yet they look nice enough that I can get by wearing them with khaki's and a polo. I don't think they would work with a suit but they work wuith business casual.
My feet stay warm and dry in them. I feel sturdy walking around in mud, snow and sturdy-ish on ice (as sturdy as one can be without metal studs on their boots). Comofrt wise, they work for a most of the day. I spend most of the day on my feet standing at a desk or moving around. I do have insoles in them for added comfort but they work without them as well. They come up high enough to make them worthwhile as boots but not too high as to make walking awkward. Other boots I have tried come up so far that you can't really move your ankle. These provide a perfect middle ground.
Overall I recommend these boots. if you wanted to dress them up a bit you could swap out the laces and that would help. I see these as a wonderful business casual boot that performs wel in the snow. I tried 5 different boots out from major companies and this was my favorite!

Functionally awesome, cosmetically doesn't hold up, but who cares about looks right?
I've been wearing these for months every day.Pros:- Comfortable to walk in all day without me personally needing inserts.- Doesn't smell as badly as other shoes probably due to the ability to pull the tongue (top part of the shoe) out easily allowing more air flow. And I wear these every day as a mentioned earlier. Other shoes of mine smell way worse.- Has held up really well in all environments (ice, snow, slush, walking, hiking) in the most important areas (see cons for exceptions, mostly cosmetic)Cons:- Shoe lace ripped in half when lacing up after a couple months and it looked like it was caused from the number of times it was laced up- Paint near the sole that appears to be garnet in color wears off over time (see pics)- Rubber at the front of the boot over the toe separates from the shoes (happened within a month of every day use)- Can be slippery on asphaltI haven't run into the issue other people are where the riveted eyelets pop out, but I make sure I pull them tight prior to fastening the upper eyelets to reduce strain.

Loved this boot as a winter "snow sneaker", nice styling, not clunky, warm and great traction. In theory a great winter boot but one of the riveted eyelets popped out after about two weeks of very light use(walking, not hiking), was not even aggressively tightening laces and popped right out. Never in my life of wearing hiking boots have I ever seen this happen before. Amazon allowed me to return it no questions asked and I chose to replace with another pair figuring it was a fluke. New pair arrived in two days, five days later the new pair did the same thing!! I'll be returning these and going to another brand. Merrell is blowing it with their QC as they get bigger and bigger.
