Very warm, very dry (no sweating), used them snowshoeing for several miles, no problems other than just a tich heavy. I'm getting older, and the weight really matters, so they'll now be used for short hikes and general snow wear. Very nice, excellent price, and look to be very durable!
I found these boots too hard to pput on my feet due to the inner fleece lining and hard right angle required to push the foot down into the bottom. Once on they did not offer arch support to the foot, at all. In expensive but not what I was looking for. I had to send them back for a refund.
I've loved these boots. Very warm, comfortable, and dry, all the things I need in snow boots. I use them while on my tractor and when playing on my ATV in the snow.
I ordered a pair of these boots for working around the house in the winter (shoveling, splitting wood, etc.). The Winter Warmers have a lot of nice features - such as a waterproof lower half, long lugs, snow cuff, and removeable liner - and appear to be well-constructed. Unfortunately, after trying them on a few times - and really trying to love them - I ended up returning the boots for three reasons: 1. The fit is bizzare. Specifically, the transition from the vertical part of the boot (i.e. in front of your shin) to the horizontal part of the boot (over the top of your foot) is very gradual. As a result, there is way too much room for movement inside the boot, allowing it to slip significantly when I walked. If it were possible to cinch the lowest strap down extremely tightly, they might be wearable. But, there is too much material underneath the strap to do so effectively. This might just be a poor fit between the Winter Warmers and my own foot but, realistically, I can't imagine that anyone's foot would fit into these without slipping too much for comfort. 2. There is a lot of room inside the boot. Disregarding the aforementioned specific issue with the area under the lower strap, these boots are roomy. This is typical of this style of boot, regardless of the manufacturer; most vendors, including L.L. Bean, only sell this style of boot in whole sizes, leaving it up to the customer to craft a better fit using either thick socks or multiple layers of socks. This, in turn, makes for a hot boot and sweaty feet, even in the cold winter - or blisters, if you only use one layer of normal socks. 3. Velcro. This is a pet peeve of mine; I just can't stand velcro. At the time I ordered these boots, however, there was nothing on the L.L. Bean web site to indicate that the straps were velcro. The description says 'hook and loop', which I interpreted to mean a different type of fastener. Others may be fine with the velcro fastening system; I just wish I knew before hand. In the end, I sent these boots back and bought a pair of Muck Arctic Sport instead. They have performed fantastically this winter, albeit for $50 more than the Winter Warmers. Overall conclusion: If these boots fit you well, you'll probably love them, though a good fit may be hard to find.
