These were really great boots for about 2 months. Then they got pretty muddy and I had to wash them. I put them through the washing machine on gentle cycle. And they were never the same again. When they came out they were warped and misshapen. No matter what I do they will not go back to looking the way they did. They look like I made them out of black Play-Doh. It is insane what they look like right now. If it hadn't been so long I would just return them and get my money back.
