Neos are terrific--just buying my second pair (as spares). I have flat, wide feet and a finicky back, so finding the right boots is not easy. Because these go over my regular shoes, no problem. And they are as warm and waterproof as the best leather boots I've tried. They also provide good to excellent traction, and work well with trekking poles for added stability on ice/snow mix. The wide sole helps there too. Trekked all over Michigan and Canada with them. During the winter, I would not leave home without them.
