No. danite soles suck in the snow. They are fine for very light snow...but when there is ice, or wet/slushy snow, its like wearing ice skates.

theres a basic bio on the site, but heres a quick synopsis: started as a tire company and then provided footwear to the french army.
now it is the official boot of the Israeli army.
i have seen a pair of old palladiums in person and they are quite nice/great character to them. they were the sand colour. it was from israel apparently.

I've never had any problems in any conditions you would find in a bigger city. Going hiking in them is a bad idea though.

I agree with vicious wang.
Dainite is fine in a city-- if you want to not slip on ice, you're going to have to wear metal cleats.

I live in MI and we get a decent amt of snow. I have 3-4 pairs of shoes with danite soles and like I posted earlier, they are fine in light snow. But when there is any decent amt of accumulation, or slush, they slip like crazy.

I bought 2 boots for the winter.
#1: Paraboot Avoriaz:

#2: Danner for Jcrew. Took advantage of the 30% off sales item coupon...so scored these for under $200.

Both painfully ugly. And the ones whatever123 posted are design abortions.

These are great if you're a size 7. Would kop if they were my size.
