"These boots are pretty great. I really wanted a combat style boot but with a sole that wasn't so slick that I would fall in the ice all winter! These are more than just fashion boots. They're actually constructed well and have good tread on them. I also like that they zip up the side so you can tie them how you like them once and not have to do it every time! My only complaint is that the right boot feels slight bigger than the left for some reason and they're slightly big overall. That works out fine because I just wear thick socks but I don't know why they don't feel like the exact same size! I usually don't have this problem - my feet are basically the exact same size. Anyway, it's not so big that they don't stay on, just weird. I'm still really happy with them overall."
