I really love the boots aesthetically, and they're perfect for the Michigan snow I've been tromping through.. The only problem I've had so far is that they have cut into my leg terribly where they rub against my leg, even when I'm wearing jeans AND a bandage over the wound.. I'm hoping that they break in soon because I spent a lot of money on them and I really like them.. I don't know what else to do about it.
