I initially thought they might be cool for longer backpacking trips when you want something a bit more substantial than a trail runner, but don't want to deal with soggy boots the entire time. Being able to bring the liner into your sleeping bag overnight to dry out definitely holds some appeal.

But they didn't bother making the model with a removable liner for women so that's it for me. The non-removable version seems to lose any of the benefits I saw this boot possibly having - can't remove to dry, can't use as camp shoes, can't swap between the summer and winter liner, can't replace the liner when it wears out, etc.
