"I wanted something fun and colorful but not ridiculous, and thought this pattern would be perfect... IT IS!!! The colors are bright in person but subtle enough to go with everything. They aren't as narrow on top which I was kind of disappointed in, because they make that "rain boot sound" against my calf when I walk... but are still feminine and classy! I would definitely recommend this style and pattern, and consider these comfy boots for all winter long!!"
