I love the quality and how they look. Very sturdy uppers and heavy-duty, well-tractioned soles--good for mud or snow or ice. I followed other reviewers' advice of ordering one size down, but it wasn't good advice for me--I ended up returning a size 9 and getting my usual size, 10. I like how closely they fit to the leg--very chic when wearing with skinny jeans or leggings, but also narrow enough to be worn under boot leg jeans. In all, I really like them and look forward to fashionably mucking around in them for many years!
