Perhaps the only shoe I have worn for winter that is very warm!!! So warm that you think there is something inside that heats up....I highly recommend you get it...lightweight, soft, and definitely super for hiking as well. I wear them at work and have worn them out in harsh conditions. Hits, water, snow, etc. Very, very warm.....!!!!!!!!! I got them yesterday!!!!! The only downside, let's say, is the tying of the laces at the top, but they are hiking shoes, so that's how they tie.
