Lightweight and the sole shape is just right for my flat feet. Fits well on the foot. Feels comfortable. The first test was in snowless -4°c weather. The first observation was that the sole hardened after only twenty meters due to the significantly cool weather. There was very little grip on the frosted asphalt. The shoes were even slippery. People who used other types of shoes did not have the same problem. "The best grip on the planet". We still need to find that planet, then there might be grip. On a gravel surface, the grip is similar to that of average shoes. I have not yet tested them on wet hard surfaces, but based on my first experience, I know how to be careful. Luckily, the shoes were on sale. At full price, it would have been a total waste of money.

It seems good after a few uses. The insole felt quite hard though, it helped when I bought gel insoles instead of the shoe's own insoles.

I went out on the first day and slipped twice. I was ready to write to the manufacturer asking why they lie about having 'the best grip in the world,' but after a few walks, the boots broke in, and now I walk fearlessly on icy roads and snow. They are very warm, totally waterproof, wide, and very stiff. Initially, the stiffness made walking difficult, but I’ve already covered 250 kilometers in them - no blisters, no pressure points. I can feel the boots becoming comfortable and softening up slightly. They are well-made, with everything beautifully glued and stitched, plus the boot itself is quite aesthetically pleasing.
