I was headed to Nome, Alaska in March and wanted a boot that I could walk around town in to keep my feet warm, have enough traction on ice, but still be comfortable enough to wear on the plane and for long periods of time. I tried on about 10 different boots and finally settled on these.
They were absolutely great! I had heavier boots (rated to -45 degrees F) for snowmachining and mushing, but these were the boots I wore when walking around town and going to events held indoors. I was so pleased with the grip - I was on ice most of the time and felt very confident in my footing. The way the boot is made, it would be possible to put yak-tracks on them, but I didn't need to. They kept my feet warm even though the temperature was around 0 degrees most of the time we were there. They were also incredibly comfortable. I had worn them at home for a couple of hours but other than that, they weren't put to the test until the day we left. No rubbing or discomfort anywhere.
I usually wear a size 9.5 shoe and go up to a 10 for winter boots to allow for thicker socks (and possible sock liners). I purchased these in a size 10 and they fit perfectly. One thing I really liked about them, is the toe box. There are just a bit looser in that area which allowed my toes some wiggle room and added to the comfort.
While I was going for comfort and warmth, they also are a bit more stylish. I liked the looks of them the best of all my options, but that was only a bonus since I would have worn anything that met my utilitarian criteria. After 10 days, they held up very well and show no signs of wear on the uppers.
Very, very pleased with my purchase!

I do not recommend these shoes!
I am very disappointed with these shoes, shortly after the first use in the city only, the soles began to loosen.
