I bought these instead of buying costume boots for Halloween because I figured I might as well buy boots I can get more than one use out of. When they arrived, I thought they were cute, and I was happy they fit my big calves, but the material looked kind of cheap. I kept them though. After the fourth time I wore them, I was standing up taking the right boot off, and the heel on the left boot broke just from me shifting my weight on it. I'm going to take them to get repaired, but I've decided not buy cheap shoes anymore.
