I'm kind of surprised by the negative reviews. I got these boots for 16.99 during a Christmas deal event...they're real suede, have real wool inside, and they're extremely comfortable. For under 20bucks, I'm not sure you could get better boots. The only downside I can think of? The boots have a very slick bottom at first. I found after I wore them a few times, and they were scuffed up, they had better traction. But, if anything needed improvement, that would certainly be it...And, they definitely run a half size big.
