I've owned these boots for about 3 years now, and I love them.  They're super cute, and I get complimented on them often.  They're also very comfortable.  My only complaint, and it's relatively minor, is that the soles are not as durable as rubber.  They grip the ground just fine, even in the wet, but I'll wear these when riding my motorcycle, and the footpegs on my bike are spiky, and the spikes are digging into the sole in the arch area and gradually shredding the bottom of the boots.  I've had the spiky footpegs for about a year, and I ride the bike with these boots maybe a couple of times a month, and it's now getting to be time to replace the boots.  I know I have somewhat of a unique situation, but I just wanted you to be aware.  For walking on paved roads, sidewalks, lawns, etc., they're perfect.  For lots of walking on gravel or sharp rocks, or for spiky motorcycle footpegs, expect that the soles will get shredded over time.
