“I have been wearing original Blundstones for 30 years, and decided to try these thermals as a winter boot in Boston. They started off stiffer than the usual Blunnie, and I was worried I had made a mistake wearing them outside (so couldn't return them). They also are hard to get on/off like other reviewers mentioned. After a couple of weeks, though, they are getting easier and more comfortable. They are VERY warm. Overall, I am pleased.”
