"I love these boots...BUT they fall down constantly. It's very difficult to tie the string at the top tight enough so they don't fall as you walk. On a good note, they're great for thicker thighs and calves (I'm on the brink of being wide calf but not quite) because of the adjustable string. A lot of boots I tried on didn't look good with thick thighs, but these definitely do. For the price they're a fun fashionable boot. I just don't know what I'm going to do once it starts snowing as these aren't waterproof."
