When I decided to get the defrosters I knew that they wouldn't be the warmest option, but they were the only shoe I could actually try on in my area, and so far I think they'll work out so long as the toasty feet's help some. Thus far I've the most trying use of the shoes has been a total of 45min. out 25min. of which was spent standing/walking in 4 inches of new snow at about 15F. So really not that bad, but winter is my favorite season, and it's only because I try and always be well prepared enough that I'm never cold.
