These boots do some things very well. They're nice and quiet to walk in, they are waterproof from the TOP, and they are comfortable as heck. They fit well and the high-backed heel is nice. They also seem pretty durable (for now).Downsides? They aren't even remotely non-slip like advertised. I use these a few days a week in a barely slick environment and let me tell you. better start calling me Michelle Kwan because I swear I've pulled more accidental spins than her entire career. Luckily I enjoy a little slide at work for the giggles, and I have excellent balance, but if you were expecting a sturdy platform on even mildly slippery surfaces then look elsewhere. VERY MUCH SLIP.
