Cute, but impractical - I loved the look of these shoes and completely bought into the name snow "joggers", as I go on long walk/jogs with my dog every day, and needed something suitable for the winter months. The first thing I noticed about this shoe was that on the Zappos site, the only size available was 8/8.5, which I assumed meant the shoe ran in whole sizes only. When they arrived, the actual shoe was marked 8.5, and they were definitely too big, though I kept them because I figured I would just double-sock it to make them fit better. I wore them for a snow-walk through the state park nearby soon after getting them, and was disappointed at the ankle support, which is non-existent. The top of the boot ends just below the bottom of the calf, and the velcro closure doesn't fit around tight enough. I am NOT thin by any stretch of the
imagination (size 14 dress), and at their tightest, the boots are too big around the ankle. The plus side of these is that even after an hour long hike in a foot of snow, my feet were dry and warm. Since then, however, I noticed that the patent is cracked in a few places, which might let wetness in. That said, if you are wanting these for style rather than functionality, they're great. I always get stares and nice compliments (and often Napolean Dynamite references) when wearing these, and I LOVE how they look with a pair of thick leggings underneath. Next winter, I will definitely buy a more functional pair of shoes with which I can be active in the snow and cold, but I'll never get rid of these adorable shoes, all complaints aside.
