the lining keeps my feet warm
the material is waterproof
the stitching makes the top tight when wearing thick socks
the opening above the zipper when closed is stylish but impractical because the flaps open
because i'm flat footed, i use an insert to support my feet (that's not the boot's fault, it's nature's)

still i'm happy because amazon carries (rather the seller) carries my size which is next to impossible to find in department stores

thank you
