These TNF boots is great for all snow-bound activities. Very comfortable and flexible. They keep your feet warm and dry; and they wick loads better than Sorels. I'm not sure whether the heat retaining/releasing footbed is just a gimmick, but I was good in -30C conditions. The grip is excellent on all types of snow and very good in icy conditions. However, when the soles are wet, they are a bit slick on smooth, indoor surfaces. These would work in the city, but the soles are soft rubber and will quickly wear down on dry pavement. Also, they may be too warm for urban wear, especially if you spend time indoors. Buy at least 1/2 size larger. Overall, great snow boots
