To be honest, I wanted to give this a 5 stars based on its performance in the snow and the price at which i purchased it.The great and good things first:- in addition to wearing this in some regular snowy weather (not that big, as I work in NYC and live in Jersey City), i also took this along with me to northern Finland where I was up in the Arctic circle for a week of activities that included wearing these regularly on both cross-country skies and snow-shoes. These were excellent.- For regular walking along the snowy roads that were not paved that well, these were fantastic. No loss of grip and felt secure even in the slushy roads in NYC.- Felt a bit wide in the toes but that proved to be nice as I felt better moving my toes within the shoes when it was bitterly cold.- Gave confidence that this shoe will not slip on ice and snow- Comfortable with adequate cushion.Now the not so good features IMO:- Primary reason i took a star away from the review: the soles slip without warning when walking in the rain on any iron/metallic surfaces like manhole covers or other metal surfaces.In addition to drainage or manhole covers, pavements - especially those near the subway or near big buildings - typically have metal covers for ventilation and other purposes. The shoe is absolutely fine when walking on the regular pavement during rain, but the minute it touches any metallic portion (which is slick due to the water), it loses traction and skids abruptly.I had more than few nasty surprises and in spite of being prepared, nearly fell twice as I was rushing along and my foot unexpectedly encountered some metal surface that I missed in my hurry. So, i decided to not to wear this shoe when it rains.- Unlike my other Merrell shoes, my heels seem to sink in deeper (not due to cushion, but probably due to the construction of the shoe's base). As a result, it feels a bit strange and I don't get the confident feeling of springing to a run as I do with my other Merrell shoes. :) But no big deal, got used to it.Overall a terrific value for use in winter times and snow. Not so on wet surfaces.  Read Less
