Waiting on winter

This year I invested in some serious winter boots. The old ones were still comfortable, but most of my footwear fits best just before falling apart. They couldn't support me standing still for hours on ice or frozen concrete, even when new.
So below are my new kicks, with the old to compare. Same boot size.
Come on, Winter, don't disappoint me!
