The boots are what they are. There is a flaw with the pair we ordered, the left boot has released itself from the hell so they are difficult to get on and off. Also uncomfortable to wear. It is an obvious design flaw since this occured two days later. I called the company and was give all sorts of excuses as to how to remedy this problem and that thye would not stand behind the product. I will not be ordering from this company again. I happy with the way Amazon handled business though.
