Overall, I'd say this product is middling.
Offers good warmth and waterproofing, as well as a decent ease of entry/exit and interior volume to wear a thick winter sock if you wish. I've worn these comfortably down to the low teens on a blustery day, which is good for someone like me with post-frostbite feet that run cold, despite being a human furnace otherwise. Weight is decent for riding with and factoring the two-layer setup of these. I like the removable inner for faster drying.
Where these fall short though, is they could be better in how securely you can fasten them after putting them on. The single Boa only does an OK job of securing the lower portion over foot, but the strap on top doesn't do a great job of securing the upper, even yanking on it hard only provides moderate anchoring, so the upper still feels floppy - maybe a second Boa dial would be better.
Additionally, the sole on these leaves much to be desired. The lugs are too small, shallow and too close together for good purchase when doing an off-bike scramble, making them slip and slide even in shallow snow. They also cake way too easily and don't clear fast.
The soles do a decent job of grabbing the pins of a flat pedal, though the design requires frequent reseating to have a comfortable foot/leg orientation, esp. for power transfer of the forefoot on pedals. They do OK on wet rocks and roots grip-wise. Didn't try them in the SPD configuration, but I imagine they'd do OK there.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend them and plan to sell them on eBay shortly.

These replaced my V1 Wolvhammers and they're incredibly warm, I can wear a basic summer cycling sock at 25 F and above. Fit is much better now that's there's been a few revisions of these boots
