Although the soles seem to be very comfortable, I have my doubts about the quality of what the boots are made of. The fluffy lining has a knitted back; not sure if it is synthetic or if this is how the manufacturer processes wool fibers before applying them to the product. Additionally the suede does not feel or look like it came from a sheep and although it is not hard it is more stiff than it looks. This stiffness also causes the ties to not do a very good job of holding the open area together. These boots feel OK so I will keep them for running around the house or yard, but I do not think I would purchase another item from this brand for myself. These boots seem more like a mediocre imitation of some of their competitors.
