Although the Heather is actually a shoe for the transitional period, it was also convincing in winter use. The toes stayed warm down to just below zero degrees. The outer material keeps splash water out and the neoprene finish keeps dirt out. Under the thick layer of mud, the shoe looks like new. The sole profile also shows hardly any signs of wear. The only drawback is the upper two Velcro fasteners. They get in each other's way a little and make it difficult to get on.
