The matter is partially remedied, but snow still sticks to me, though not in such quantity. But I can say that I'm somewhat disappointed with the shoes regarding winter conditions. With old or previous alpine boots I didn't have this problem. I'll turn to the seller (IGLU) to ask what to do in this case. Shoes are only five months old. If someone has a similar experience and how they solved it, I'd ask for advice. To Viharnik best thanks for the info. NICE GREETING AND SAFE STEP
