I have gotten a ton of compliments on this boot, if you can actually call it a boot, more like socks with serious traction. They are warm, comfortable and look great with almost anything--jeans, leggings, tights & a skirt, even my granny-pink wal-mart sweats don't look half bad if I'm wearing these boots with them. I had to put them through the washer (wore them without socks once--do not do this.)  They held up fine, even through the dryer. I want them in every color they make.
