The calf is so much wider than the foot, which seems to have very little insulation. They're supposed to be for cold, dry weather, but to me they look like they would let the cold in through the sole
There is a cyclist in Edmonton (which is 300 km. north of us), who has a pair. She has her own blog, "girls and bikes". So if no one asks from TE, I'll ask her. However I won't get to it for the next 12 hrs.

I agree boots look more suited for dry powdery snow which we do get in our area but then we get warm chinook winds for the slushy snow melts.
