Warm!
The shoes keep my feet warm in the temperature 10~15F degrees. Also the Gore-tex protection keeps the feet dry protects from snow/water when walking on the snow patch or ice. Recommended for anyone who ride a clip-in bike in the very cold weather.

About the best you can find for dexterity and minimal warmth
For weeks I went around to various ski shops and outdoor clothing stores (EMS Beans REI etc.) trying to find gloves that were warm weather resistant and (the clincher) thin enough to be useful in everyday activities. Thinness was the real problem. Usually the warmer the glove the thicker the fabric. The thicker the fabric the more likely it will fail the coin test . . . drop a coin on various surfaces and see how hard it is to pick up. Your average mittens and fleece gloves are fairly useless in this test.
From what I can tell at least in this price range the Seirus All Weather Gloves are about as good as it gets when it comes to dexterity and minimal warmth in a winter climate.
These gloves have a nylon outer layer with rubber-like patches on the palm for gripping (what appears to be) a neoprene middle and a very thin fleece lining. Neoprene is used in water sports gloves so you know these will block wind and keep your hands dry. The big drawback here is that they're a bit tight and this cuts off circulation which in turn makes your hands cold. Many buyers might want to seriously look at the extra large size in order to avoid this. The nylon outer layer for those that care isn't that attractive or "masculine." But this is a minor detail.
I tested the gloves down to about 8 degrees fahrenheit with very light activity. I found them to be very good in the 20 degree range and much much less so the closer it got to about 10 degrees. Some of this was probably due to the over tightness of the gloves which I hope improves with use. With moderate activity other users might have better luck. Given the neoprene (again assuming) layer it doesn't seem a good choice for sweaty activities as breathability is likely minimal. (They advertise them as breathable but I'm skeptical.) Overall if the temperature is below 10 degrees and you're looking at being outside for an extended period you will need a warmer glove or mitten.
The only other glove in this category is Seal Skinz which are thinner (and better dexterity) but they were very poor at keeping my hands warm. Those gloves are better suited for an above freezing wet environment.
I've used other gloves that were warmer and more comfortable but when it comes to being able use your hands and minimal warmth these seem to be the only game in town. I just couldn't find another glove that worked better than these.

Good value great winter motorcycle gloves
These are a pretty good set of winter gloves. Being well under $40 I really didn't expect much out of a pair of "bargain" gloves -but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sort of a glove snob and have a dozen motorcycle-specific gloves laying on the gear shelf not being used as they don't quite make the cut.
Right now there are 3 pairs of gloves in my arsenal that DO make the cut and this is one of them. I carry all 3 of them with me when I'm riding. To let you know what my standards are the other gloves are the Held Sprint for summer wear The Held Storm for cooler/wetter weather and these River Road Cheyenne Cold-Weather gloves for when I am feeling chilly/wet and/or the temperatures dip much below 50 into the 40's or below. This glove is in good company but might be a bit out of its social league hanging out with a pair of gloves that cost me 3 and 4 times as much respectively (and I got them both on CLOSEOUT!). This $36 is the everyday price of the River Road Cheyenne. I figured for that price I'd give them a try and let them compete against gloves that cost me over $100 and up to $200.
Right out of the box I was impressed with the build/stitch quality of these gloves -although not quite made of the same high-end materials as the Helds with their fancy and supple Pittard leather and ultra-tough kangaroo hides. The bottom half of these gloves feel like fairly good quality ordinary moo cow leather while the top end is mostly polyester something or other similar to your typical ski glove. It does have a nice retro-reflective strip over the knuckles for visibility to the car drivers who probably wouldn't see you anyhow if you had a lighthouse strapped to your back. But every bit counts I guess.
The inside is impressively lined with high-tech Hipora and Gore-tex (or so the tags and marketing material claim). They can hold their own in the rain for almost an hour before you start to feel the moisture inside. After that it is like wearing two sponges on your hands. I actually carry a pair of Aerostich/Roadcrafter "Triple-Digit" rain-cover gloves just for those times when you know it isn't going to stop raining all day. The Held Storms can hold out for hours but they have a special liner inside that is very well thought out. Of course they are 3 times as expensive and not nearly as warm. But they aren't my winter gloves and instead cover the mid-weather role. I have the Cheyenne for the ultra cold weather.
Once wet these gloves still retain a good amount of insulative properties. That Hipora liner is still doing its job keeping the wind out. I was too lazy to put my raincovers on a few weeks ago and these gloves got totally drenched and even though the temps dipped down to 50 and a bit below I was not too cold in my hands. Impressive!
All the parts are sewn together flawlessly. The stitching on my pair is nearly as good as the uber Held gloves are even though the leather itself isn't nearly as nice. I can't fault that one bit -after a couple of seasons of riding they are like new even though they have been drenched a few times. They are tough if not quite as high-end as the Held gloves. These gloves become my main gloves when winter sets in. I stretch my riding into November and get back on the bike on April 1 every year here in Chicagoland. It's cold. They get a lot of use and are holding up well.
The one issue I have with them is they are a bit bulky for a motorcycle glove. That is to be expected with a glove THIS WARM. What do you expect? Magic? The feel is not the best but nowhere near as bulky as a non-motorcycle glove that is this warm. Still I find it harder to get my fingers over the levers after a few hours of riding and my fingers are getting stiff. They are a little harder to feel the controls through than what I would like. Get them WET and then all bets are off. Spongebob squaregloves are not good for trying to control a motorcycle -especially as your hands get cold and numb from the wet.
These are not Held Freezers or Warm n Dry top-end winter gloves. They aren't quite as bulky and do as good a job as keeping you warm and a much better job of keeping you dry for longer. Of course those gloves cost $200 even from discount mail-order places. But these are not FAR behind. Certainly not $160-worth behind. For that price savings you can see why I'm still using these. They work and have great value. Maybe I can talk someone into buying me a pair of Freezers or Warm n Drys someday as a gift. I bought the Storms and Sprints because nothing else was doing the job and I HAD to spend the money on gloves that worked or carry 6 pairs of gloves around with me to get the features I get in those two. Now I'm down to 3 pairs total (plus the Aerostich over-liners) and these Cheyennes have actually made that final cut.
That isn't bad for a pair of gloves that are selling for $36! I can't give them 5 stars because they aren't perfect. But for this price you probably won't find much else that comes even close. Or you can spend $160 more and get the 5-star Held Gloves. Is that 5th star really worth $160 more dollars?
I've told you my answer.

Not overly impressed
Not the most comfortable gloves I've worn nor the warmest nor the most breathable.
They inside feels like neoprene from a wetsuit so not very comfortable. If it's below freezing so are your hands. They don't breathe well so you hands sweat.
About the only good thing about these gloves are that they kept my hands dry (aside from sweating) while shoveling snow the downside was my hands were cold the whole time.

Good warmth for a glove but a little thick!
These are definitely cold weather gloves but they are stiffer than I would have liked. I broke them in by just wearing them all day... after all you do not want stiff gloves on a cold morning. They are warmer than your standard mechanics glove but that warmth comes with bulk if the day is going to warm up later just start your work later otherwise these are a true winner for keeping those digits workable...
