I've only used these for a few trips this winter. Here's my observerations:

o they are heavy compared to leather boots, or at least they sure feel that way. The two boots together probably weight in at about 10lbs. It can get pretty tiring, espcially when you add snowshoes!

o they are very warm

o they do take a bit of getting used to, walking on bare ground or only a few inches of snow changes your gait

o they provide plenty of ankle support

o these boots are the widest plastic boots I could find, they fit my foot, a narrow heel, wide forefoot, size 13

o they do all plastic boot things well, so far as I've noticed

o they have a neat system with a gasket instead of a bellows for closing the tounge. It seems to work.
