I don't recall what I searched to bring these boots up but it was love at first sight!!  However, I couldn't deal with the price at the time (about $140).  Well somehow, they would pop up evey time I had to come to Amazon for something "just to let me know" they were priced lower.
Well, they kept getting lower and lower until finally a price I was comfortable with paying and I placed the order.  I got them and opened the box to see how they felt and instantly thought there was no way they were the right size.  They look so tiny.  So I was thinking "great, all this weight and now they won't fit, etc." while going to slide my foot into one only to find they are more comfortable that tennis shoes!!!  OMG!  And this was with a sock on too!
It is very true about the black stain.  I'm not going to bother scrubbing mine off since I will just put it back on next time I wear them, lol!
Awesome Awesome!!
