I was going to rate these 4 stars becuase after getting them I decided I really didn't love the rounded stitching on the toe but that is just cosmetic and has nothing to do with the quality or feel. I had to be fair and give it 5 stars. The boots are incredibly comfortable. I got them for the rainy/snowy days of commuting into the city where you still have to be in an office type environment. They look styling and they can definitely handle the weather. Again, I can't stress how comfortable they are for me. I wish I liked the style a bit more but that is all personal preference. Great boots overall, light and very comfortable. You won't be disappointed.
