"I was excited to get these boots, as they are cute and seemed to be warm - just what I was looking for. However, I tried on one boot and once I got my foot in, I struggled to get it out!!! I couldn't handle that on a daily basis. I don't think a larger size would've solved the problem either - definitely bad construction overall. I realize a zipper is not pretty, but in this case would've made the boot wearable. Very disappointed :-("
