I absolute love these boots! I bought these so I would have waterproof boots to take on my month long trip to Europe. When I took converse for the previous trip, it got so uncomfortable I had to buy new shoes while i was traveling. I wanted something that I could wear during the day but also wear to fancier bars and dinners (I just match it with a black chic dress and then I don't have to bring another pair of heels along). I walked 7-13 miles a day, rotating between this shoe, another teva hiking boots, and teva flip flops (can you tell I love teva shoes?) I still wear these everywhere, including when I wore it to EDC (EDC is a rave but since there's a lot of walking involved during the festival, people recommend wearing comfy shoes.. These were super comfy!)
