I decided to search for a pair of pull on style boots in hopes they were more comfortable on my legs than my side zip knee high boots.  I liked the look of this boot, and when Amazon had a pair in my size as a warehouse deal (like new condition @ $17.99), I took the chance and ordered them.  These boots look brand new, never worn, and I couldn't be happier with these boots. They are comfortable also, which is #1 priority.  I got a super deal on these boots. Thank you Amazon!!
