I really wish I had not wasted my money on these boots. Just like other reviews, I also had the leather separate from the sole which allows water in easily. For some reason they eat my socks. I swear to you I have had many boots since I wear them everyday and these are the only boots that pull my socks down. I have to unlace the boots and pull my socks up and tie my boots. Cotton socks, wool socks? These boots don't discriminate, they eat all of my socks.
