"I purchased these shoes out of necessity during the October snow we just experienced and I've never had a better winter boot. It's cute, it's warm and it's waterproof. The inner layer in made of recycled material and is removable so it'll never stink! The reason I gave it four stars and not five is because there is a part in the heel of the shoe that bugs me a tiny bit, but maybe it'll go away once I wear them a couple times."
