Got this for a best female friend.... I hate fighting woman off when Im trying to get some warm comfortable shoes or boots for that matter.. The creators of female clothing is too trying on the look and the appeals to what anyone looks for in what a woman wears. They just can't seem to make the apparel to capture what a man's line of clothing feels. I raved about how my boots are nice, waterproof, how the omni heat feels. I got these for her and she was disappointed. Yes water proof. yes warm.. but water can get in them and the whole experience flys out the window because the gaps where the tongue of the boot ends only 2 inches over the foot area. I don't like gifts that I have to hear negativity on. But after seeing it myself? Yeah... I was totally uphold... Think more for a boot not a high top shoe with added material to cover the calf muscle. Total shame
