I'm so glad i bought these! i went on a hunt for combat boots and then found these tims.  they are perfect and cozy and sturdy.  these are my first pair of tims and im glad i bought them.  they come up right in the middle of my shins and they zip on the side.  the grip is good since i live in Upstate NY where the weather varies from rainy to snowy and these are perfect, no leaking, no wearing and tearing of the shoes exterior. im happy with my purchase and they are worth the price!
