"These shoes are great. I just had to toss almost all the boots I own, and I made the decision to switch from the cheap side of shoes, to the nicer side I knew would be bound to last longer. I purchased these as a casual comfy boot that could be worn during fall and winter weather. I really like them so far! The bottom part of the boot isn't layered in shearling, gives your feet some extra breathing room, though sometimes the lip of the attachment of the bottom to the top can get bent the wrong way when you slide your foot in. But its an easy fix! I would recommend these boots."
