These booties survived a slushy Chicago commute without a single wet sock, which says a lot. The padded nappa upper feels broken in straight out of the box, and the knit laces actually stay tied.

The chunky treaded platform gives me real grip on icy sidewalks, which I didn't expect from a bootie this sleek. The knit laces are thick enough that they stay tied all day, and the oversized rand keeps slush from soaking through.

The padded nylon upper makes these way more comfortable for all-day wear than I expected from a bootie with such a chunky platform. The oversized rand really does help shrug off slush and grime without looking bulky.
