These boots are not bad for the price,  Im going to try out their traction when we have our next noreaster, next week, but the soles look like they can handle it.  Hope so.  I'm 67 and a fall can do a lot of damage at my age! LOL.

The lining is low grade fur, with no cushioning in the sole.  So, you feel like you're walking barefoot, on a flat surface.  I HATE walking barefoot, so for me, it's quite uncomfortable.  I need to get a new insole to cushion my foot as I walk,  but I think that won't be a big problem.

I bought these because I had knee replacement surgery last spring, and my entire foot, ankle and calf swell up like balloons, and my good, expensive boots won't fit on my left foot anymore!  These do.  Because of thevelcro closure, it will fit ma swollen leg and my not swollen leg, although the closure on the swollen calf is rather loose, and Im sure that moisture could get into the boot through there.  The other unswollen leg has th Velcro closing as it should.

So, are they great boots?  Of course not.  The cost less than $16!  No boots that cheap will be great boots.  But, they fit my needs for now.

And now, Im off to look for a comfortable insole!
