These boots were made for snow

I've had these North Face boots for about a month now and I'm ridiculously excited about the recent snowfall as it means I can properly roadtest these bad boys!
In a moccasin style, they're waterproof and lace right up the back. And as can just be seen on the soles in this photo to the right, little plastic stars that harden when it's icy and act like little ice-picks, gripping the ice to prevent slipping. Ever since the summer slipped away and the days started getting colder and wetter, I've been searching for a new pair of flat-soled proper boots.

There's nothing worse than wearing what you think are proper boots, out in the snow or rain, and halfway down the path feeling an icy dampness spreading up from your toes. After that it's all downhill, realising your socks will most likely be dyed from the leaking boots, your feet will be freezing all day and every time you wear the boots, it'll be exactly the same.
