Hunter boots as snow boots in Chicago weather? -

I m shopping for snow boots and was wondering if anyone is using the Hunter boots with the fleece sock as a winter boot? The sales lady at Akira told me it was a great buy at about $150 for the boot with the socks. But I have a hard time believing that it could actually be used as a snow boot for warmth. Any feedback? Thanks!

Me and my friend wore them all last winter...ugg s as well..(of course they got ruined). I loved them. But my favorite were my North Face Nuptse Fur boot, very warm and they didn t slip all over the place. It s a nice heavy winter boot, but it still looks girly and feels light and sleek, not all heavy and bulky..good luck finding something, but the Hunters are warm and cute.

Fleece will surprisingly work. On the coldest days I wear fleece socks in the house outside. They can be used with shoes or any boot but they are thicker than most socks. I have not used Hunter socks. I have used them from LL Bean and REI.The photo does not show the tickness of the fleece. There are several types. In general, the thicker the material, the warmer it will be:http://www.hunter-boot.com/2/9/Shop-Onli��For boots I prefer complete wool lining. I ve had a pair for years and sometimes use them sockless for shoveling snow and outside chores.
