Unless you live in the desert or a part of the country or world where it RARELY rains; do not buy these boots. Sure they're great to look at and are very cute and stylish, but the quality seems mediocre to me. I bought these boots thinking minnetonka was a good brand. I've seen this brand everywhere (amazon, dsw shoes, delias, etc). They're supposed to be real suede and I don't doubt that but it rained where I lived (philadelphia, PA) and I was out in the rain for like 2 minutes and the water stained my bootS! I thought the rain would dry and leave no mark but it stained my boots and they look like $**T now!
