We loved this these boots when we first got them. We wanted cute rain boots, and they worked well. We got lots of compliments. After a month of wear, the zipper on one shoe broke. I fixed it, but it broke again when my daughter was at school. She was quite upset. When my daughter got them dirty, I washed them in the washing machine. The paper insole disintegrated and there was nothing between the foot and the inside of the rubber sole. I had to throw them away after only a few months of use. They're kinda pricey for a disposable shoe.
