I live in Michigan and I wore these when we got 95 inches of snow during the fall and winter seasons.  The boots did keep my feet dry before the seam ripped in the ankle area.  I never experienced this even with inexpensive boots.  There is no pile lining or any kind of support inside.  This was not a good choice.  I was so frustrated that I just threw them in the trash.  They look rugged but I assure you they are not.  Don't be fooled; chose a better brand.
