I own these boots (in black)and find them extremely comfortable.  I was able to walk over a mile in them on the first day.  They have good grip, even through snow and slush.  It is possible to fit a decent sock into the boot and still wear your regular size.  They do not slouch around the ankle or drift down the leg in an unsightly way.  In other words: They will appear much like they do in this picture while on your leg.  They are synthetic material, which made mine impervious to water.  That said, they have no lining and you WILL feel the cold if you don't wear a good sock.  Given their material, do not use shoe polish but Pledge Furniture Polish to make them look lustrous.  I only spent $40.00 on mine so this price seems a bit high.  Perhaps they will go on sale, though.  I love them, but the material seems thin and I worry how it will hold up over time.  My fingers are crossed.

It is now October 2014 and I just ordered my second pair through Amazon.  I wore my first pair of these boots pretty constantly from September to March each year until they wore out around the ankle.  They are incredibly comfy and I really like how they looked.  After browsing around DSW and trying on a few pairs, I just realized that I wanted my boots, THESE boots- only new again.  Luckily, I found them here.
