I love these boots, the rubber is very pliable. This is the first time that I had ordered a pair of the short version instead of the longer boot. The shorter boot is easier to put on and take off.  I have the jacket to match these boots.  The delivery was a smooth transaction and they arrived before the date expected.  These boots will also look great with my navy coat. I wore them with skinny jeans and they look fantastic. I think the boots look better on my feet than on the photo shown. I will get great wear out of the boots. Thank you for a no problem delivery.
