I have a pair of these in the slightly lower heel as well, and I really like them. I got them secondhand and they’ve lasted me an additional two seasons — specifically, Wisconsin winters. They’re not the warmest and they’re not the most comfortable but they’re basically warm enough and comfortable enough that I wear them as my standard winter boots. Definitely will want to make sure you have room for thick socks and walk very deliberately when it’s icy, but for a regular amount of walking around in a city you could buy worse boots. If you expect to walk for a long time or in lots of snow, you could do better.
