Was very nervous purchasing boots as lately Amazon has had some very cheap products, via third party. Obviously,  they don't come from Amazon,  but from one of their many third party sellers.  However,  not too much too worry about with these.  They actually fit and didn't,  DID NOT fall apart while she was putting them on to wear for the first time.  She's had then a while now and they've held up well considering my Teen daughter is very hard on shoes.  Not a bad bargain at all.
