"I got these boots to be my "dress" boots for the winter. I love them. I have worn them for 3 months now, and they are my go to shoes (so long as it is not snowing or raining). They are very comfortable, and I even have awkward, wide feet that are two different sizes. I have gotten lots of compliments on the brown/black combo. The only issue is that the elastic strips on the back of the boot are really cheap. The little elastic strings toward the top of the boot started poking out within 2 weeks. No one notices but me, but it does bug me a bit. However, for the price, they were a great buy!"
