I saw all the bad reviews but I bought this in wheat color and I used them this las winter. Because I am in process of moving I didn't hace all my boots available and I had to wear them very often with an older pair and they are intact. I don't walk a lot but I used them at leas 3 days a week or maybe sometimes 2. I am ordering the blacks right now because my other blacks won't last next winter and they are same brand and I had them for 5 years but I really used those more often
