I was very excited when I discovered this company was offering a boot, as I love my sandals.  However, they dropped the ball.  The buckle is fixed and is only decoration, it is extremely hard to pull on and then too wide so my foot slides around as I walk.  There is some kind of black rubbery flakes that come off on my sock and the boot bed isn't soft like the sandal, so they are not as comfortable for walking.  I would not buy again!
