"I really wanted to like these boots. They are pretty and look nice on, but the soles are very thin, so I don't think they will last long. The biggest complaint that I have is that there is NO tread on the soles, which makes them very very slippery. Just today, I dropped them off at a shoe repair place to put some tread on them... so add an extra $20 bucks to that $50 price tag. I also feel as though the material is sort of cheap, so I feel that after a year or so the shiny/metallic material will show wear creases fairly prominently on the toe area. Only time will tell. I am also planning on adding a cushion insole to add to comfort (another $20... sheesh, they are now up to a $90 boot!). Disappointed overall, so I can not recommend them. 2 stars for looking nice, but that's about it."
