Columbia Women's Ice Maiden II Waterproof Snow Boots - Winter Hiking, Snowshoeing & Cold Weather Outdoor Activities

I live in Minnesota and these boots have kept my feet warm and they have great traction on ice. I bought them after I had slipped and fell on a wet slippery floor in the grocery store earlier this year so when I purchased these boots I was looking for boots that would be safe on slippery floors and icy sidewalks . I wore them for 4 months of the most treacherous winter I have experienced in Minnesota, it was the snowiest year on record. Although I had to walk on ice many times in parking lots and driveways I never slipped. They are also very water resistant, as I worked 8 hours a day shopping and delivering about 8 orders or groceries a day and I was in and out, cold outside to inside grocery stores with wet floors and back outside in snow or ice and sometimes puddles , my feet stayed warm, comfortable and dry. I literally only wore these boots for 4 months, I was recovering from a knee injury and I could not risk falling but had to brave the cold and icy driveways, parking lots and sidewalks. These boots were a HUGE blessing.
