I purchased these boots for my Granddaughter for a Christmas gift. I researched many stores in my area ,and online. I decided to buy these boots since I liked the looks of the boot and the reviews were very promising for standing up to wear and tear. I also liked the color quality and style of the boot. My Grand daughter was and is thrilled with the look and feel of the boots. She wears them often and gets many,many great compliments on the stylish look of the boot. She states they are extremely comfortable and actually look much more expensive then the price I paid. These boots are more then worth the price and look and feel like much more expensive boots. I,of course, remain the hero of the story since I chose them. They were a huge hit and I remain her favorite Grandmother.!!
