Review on Waterproof Snow Boots For Women By GLOBALWIN - Winter Footwear For Women by Sean Spence

I live in upstate NY and tend to do a lot of hiking with my two dogs, spouse, and two toddlers. I purchased these in August when I knew that by the end of September in upstate, it could start snowing and be frigid. I was skeptical as I have always purchased expensive boots thinking that was the solution to the freezing cold, wetness and wind during the Fall/Winter (basically winter). My last pair of boots were too bulky, heavy, and I paid almost $200 for them (Sorel, Joan of Artic boots). I wore them 3 times hiking and after being pregnant and then also carrying a toddler, I said these will absolutely not work.Anyway, fast forward to finding these on Revain and keeping them in my "Save for later" for almost an entire year, not wanting to pull the trigger on cheap boots that wouldn't last. Well I finally purchased them and seriously, there are 0 regrets on the purchase. They are light weight, waterproof, great for hiking, easy to get on and off (not too stiff), and they are incredibly warm. I had to stand outside in 20 degree temps and high wind for over 2 hours due to a natural gas emergency and my feet were toasty warm with just plain old ankle socks on. I couldn't feel the wind, definitely couldn't feel the cold.I have also been hiking several miles in these through woods in the Finger Lakes National Forest while carrying my 2 year old on my back and I had 0 calluses, 0 discomfort and I didn't feel like I was trudging along at all. The soles are still in solid shape after climbing over branches and rocks and having my 70+lb dogs run over me or step on my boots.I purchased these in an 8.5M and the color 1910black. I generally wear an 8 or 8.5. I have what I affectionately refer to as "duck feet", pretty wide, some arch but nothing drastic. My feet like to spread out and these boots allow that without losing shape or stretching out. I can easily wear them with standard ankle socks or thick wool hiking socks with plenty of room to not feel cramped.I really just can't say enough good things about them. It's currently December and temps are starting to drop for prolonged periods with constant wet outside. I don't have a worry about it at all and may be purchasing another color as I'm seeing they are 25% off right now.Also I attached pics of the boots with 1 solid month of daily wear (November) and then two months of occasional wear (every 2-3 days) and you can see they have held up well and the sole is in great shape.
