I freakin love these boots. I have what I like to call "Popeye" calves. They're huge! I love that these boots have a customized fit. People have stopped me and told me they love my boots. They're super, super warm. I wouldn't wear them without socks though. I've tried it and my feet got so sweaty! The next day when I went to wear them again, they were still damp inside (gross!). I have wide feet so at first they were a bit tight on my feet, but after wearing them a few more times, I can wear them with some medium thickness socks now. I've walked around with them in the rain (no snow in NY yet) and so far, my feet stayed nice, toasty and dry. No complaints, love these boots!

P.S. They don't show you in the picture, but the right boot has a pocket. ;)

The boots survived their first winter. Although I still LOVE these boots and can't wait until I can wear them again, I have had to get the zipper fixed. As I said above, I have big calves, so when I first got the boots, I loosened the laces all the way, put my feet in, then zipped up the boots, and lastly tighten the laces . In my haste on a number of occasions though, I have just kept the laces tied and then zippered up the boots. BAD IDEA. that's what broke the zipper.

WORD OF ADVICE FOR THESE BOOTS: Only use the zipper to take off the boots. To put them on, loosen laces, keep zipper down, put foot in, zip up, THEN tighten with laces. (The cobbler who fixed the boots told me that this is the right way to put on the boots)
