They're really comfy. Ideal for Apres Ski and when it snows in GB. While I wouldn't recommend them for serious winter hiking as they are not supportive round the ankles like hiking boots, they are ideal for what they're designed for, occasional/casual use. The reflective bits are a nice touch for being out on roads on those dark winter nights. Just one thing, the women's 7 is a tad too short and narrow, but the men's 7 fits me, a lass with wide feet, perfectly. Just bear it in mind if the women's 7 does not fit comfy - the men's ones look exactly the same, just are a bigger fit,
