I live in Alaska and these boots are perfect! Warm and stylish. Comfortable to wear all day and into the evening as well. Wears well with jeans and/or skirts. Casual to professional. I have the maroon/red ones because they didn't have the black in stock when I purchased this last year. I have decided to pick up the black ones now that they are in stock in my size. I constantly get compliments when I wear these boots. I Love my Boots!
