For as low-priced as these boots are, they have really held up this winter. I care a lot about fashion, and these boots are darling. I also walk a ton, and have comfortably walked several miles on snowy, but relatively-flat urban streets in these. One caution I'd make pertains to the zipper. I like that these boots zip on, because it makes them easier to put on. The zipper does seem like it could easily come unsewn, though. I'm always as gentle as possible with the zipper, because it doesn't look that sturdy.
