Very comfortable and warm. I have not worn outside in the cold but with a wool sock they felt great. They are a bit of an awkward heel, it feels a little clunky, but out on a trail it probably will come in handy. If anything I look forward to shoveling and stomping around in these. I would say the fit is just slightly big which is good for thick socks.

It was the best birthday gift for my brother and he loved how great these shoes are for long walks. Super comfortable.
