I just received these yesterday and was excited to try them on. I love Bare Traps and have always had sucess with the brand. My only complaint is that the sole is made of a slippery plastic as apposed to a non slip rubber. For winter, the last thing you want is a shoe that will cause you to fall! I have only worn these around the house at this point. I put some skid resistant grip pads on the bottom to help with traction. Having said that, the sole of the boot does have good tread on it, it just is made from a less than desirable material.
