I bought these boots a day before we started a snowshoe hike of 10 days in the Uinta mountains. The first 2-3 days they where comfortable, warm, good fit. Then they became colder and started to leak. The moisture came from the sole of the shoes and found its way through the insulation. As the temperature went down to -13F (-25C) I had to take the shoes in my sleeping bag to get them a bit flexible again. It is now a week after we came back, this is how long it took to dry out the shoes, and I still have no feeling in some of my toes (luckily they did not became black). Also, the leather uppers soak up moisture and of course become rock hard after a night in the freezing cold. So they are fine for 1-2 day hikes but I would not trust them for 3+ day hike (without being able to dry them out). Friends of mine used the North Face Lifties and had no problems at all.
