I get the "each to their own". When I first seen them,I was like ,they look cheap and not very well made. After many reviews,I decided to buy them for just the weight of them and the warmth they gave. I have been a fan ever since I got them. I hate wet/cold feet. The thick souls really keep the ice cold getting in.
The only thing that is a minus,my buddies tell me I knew you were out,I seen the NATS stamp in the snow. LOL
