It's not that I think these are bad, I just think for the price I could have found something more versatile if I would have done a little more searching. I needed a pair of functional/fashionable/durable boots for trekking around campus in the snow after moving from Cali to Iowa. These are definitely warm and durable, but look a little too "biker chick" for my normally preppy style. I wish they had a little more slouch (fairly form fitting, even with my chicken legs). I'm definitely getting my use out of them for daytime/jeans use, but wouldn't wear them with a skirt or while going out at night.
