When I was reading reviews before purchasing, most seemed fairly intense: either theyd be furious with the quality (reasonably so, nails don't belong inside shoes) or they'd say it was the best purchase ever made... I found both of these experiences rather extreme. To me, they're exactly what youd expect for inexpensive boots. The quality is decent, fit/comfort is decent, etc. literally exactly what Id expect for the price. I bought them to wear while Im studying abroad in London this upcoming fall as shoes I don't mind getting wet and/or ruined, Im excited to see how they hold up. Overall Id recommend them
