Winter in Washington was very hard for me because I don't like walking in wet shoes and socks. These shoes got me back in the game. I ride about 60 miles a week and it gives my feet the cushion they need. I already have my 2nd pair and will be getting my 3rd soon. I had to go up a size as I wear a size 9 in running shoes and got them a size 9.5. Reflection really works on them. The water protection is amazing. I can't even summarize all the good things in one review.
