I bought these boots approximately 3 years ago and to my surprise they are still going strong! Some customers  have commented that they have had buttons fall off or the soles come off right away, but I have  never had any problems with either. Truthfully, I bought they because I liked the style - I have similar boot that were way more expensive and did not want to chance ruining them - so I bought them (25.99) think that if they got ruined it would be no big deal. Imagine my surprise when they have outlasted my high priced boots!

They are made with faux suede, so they are not as warm as boots made out of a material like sheepskin. This was a positive for me because while those boots keep me warm they also make me very hot if the weather is warm at all. I wanted a shoe that breathed better and that is what I got. Additionally, they have a softer, rubby sole. Which again, will not keep you as warm but will bend with you feet. To sum it up these are not snow boot as some people seem to think - they aren't meant to tromp through the snow or suffocate you feet in sweltering heat - they are cute boots that have water resistant soles (so ok for rain or light snow) that are  suitable for 30 degree and up. Faux suede soak up water so if they are covered in snow they will get wet! 2 of the 3 years I owned these boot I lived in Milwaukee and they suited my needs so they work for winter as long as you use common sense.

Only thing I' ll warn you about is that the sizes do run big!

When I first gone them I would have given them 4 stars but given they have lasted way longer than I had hoped I'm giving the 5 stars.
