These boots are very chic! They looked great and are super comfortable. There is some soft cushion like insole inside. I noticed that they feel warmer than the sorel 1964 PAC I tried on the other foot. They are certainly better padded. Its just ONE problem. THEY ARE WAY too small and I ordered a size up!! They are roomy but short, my toe hit the end. Oh well.. looks like I am keeping the sorel.
