"I would have never ever paid $300 + for these boots! Even the $89 sale price is a bit much. If I would have been able to see and feel them in the store I am pretty sure I would've passed them up. Yes, they are cute and comfy. But they are lacking oomph. The material used (leather) seems cheap and flimsy. I was hoping for a side zip too making getting the boot off and on a little more easy."
