Love the style of these boots so much, I have gone through two pairs and am considering another purchase. They do seem to only last one season of medium wear though. Run a bit small, so I would suggest going a half a size up. Also, the buckles/straps snapped on one pretty early on so I had to cut them off. Although it wasn't noticeable and they still looked cute, this was part of my original desire to purchase. And the front of them split over time on both shoes, where they would flex when walking/going up stairs. I do adore these shoes so much, but I wish they had a bit more life in them.
