These boots are awesome!  I was hesitant to pay this much for boots, but these babies were comfortable right out of the box!  Wore them all over Europe and they gave me no problems (the most I walked in one day was 7 miles and I had no issues) They were very warm and my feet never got cold or wet!! I bought the gray version of these that had a fabric cuff around the ankle and they were !/2 the price, but very uncomfortable- returned those and kept these- worth EVERY penny!!!
