I researched and researched to find the best boots. I was tired of buying $50 boots that would let in water and allow my feet to be cold.

I didn't want to spend this much on boots, but I decided to go ahead with it.  I am so happy that I did.  These are the most wonderful boots. They are great quality. They fit true to size, they are absolutely warm and completely waterproof. I have worn them almost every day since buying them, and they are so comfortable (I saw reviews saying they hurt the ankle, but I haven't experienced that).  I have large calves (about 16 or 16 1/2 inch), and they fit perfectly. The zipper makes it so easy to put them on and take them off.  They also have an adjustable strap by the ankle to sinch it in a little more, if you want. The boots do not slouch either, which a lot of my other boots did.  I know I will have these for years. I do not have even one complaint about them, I couldn't be happier with them.

I've had these for over a year and wear them almost daily in the winter. They are still in perfect condition. The materials are superior quality and completely waterproof. They keep my feet warm whether I'm walking through snow, slush, or puddles.
