I had these boots for about 3 years and they were the best boots I'd ever owned. Harsh Michigan winters and slush left my other nice leather boots ruined so I knew I needed something waterproof. I worked in an office and these were something I could wear during the day without having to change my boots once I got to work to something more appropriate. Really comfortable and warm. The soles never wore out even though I walk a lot and I would spend $15 to get the heels replaced when they wore down. Expensive but worth the quality. Probably the most stylish waterproof boots that are out there.
