>>1973681Do it, they are great boots. I have used them pretty much every day since I got them. They really require almost no breaking in and are really comfy, I couldn't stress this enough. Last weekend I used them for a quick little hike in the forest on some logging trails and off in the bushes for a bit. The leather and gore-tex lining work great together and my feet were dry after 3 hours of stomping through ice and snow. How ever I will be getting some ice cleats next week, since the grip isn't that great on the icy roads, but then again I don't know any boots that wouldn't slip a bit with the weather we had. I got them on a sale as well, since they do cost a lot, but I think they are totally worth it.
