I really like this boot and its a perfect everyday throw on kind of boot. however, I have only had them a few weeks and the tassels  started unfolding and breaking off. I tied them together many times, but then they would pull apart and break off. I finally had to cut them all the way off, which is sad because the fringe is what sold these boots to me in the first place. I only wore these boots around the house and for errands, nothing extensive.  they should have held up a lot better than they did.
