For the price, I was worried these would look like what you'd expect for $40 faux fur, synthetic faux leather boots. But I bought in black, and the color and texture is very much like leather (or at least the material of real combat boots). The fur isn't the greatest, but I never wear them folded over, and it's very soft on my legs!

The heel is perfect for giving me a bit of height while being comfortable enough to run in. Living in Chicago, you just never know, so I don't wear shoes that are high enough to alter my stride. They're also notably warm, which is always a concern for boots that are trendy in fall/winter!

The zipper is nice, though I hardly ever use it. I got mine a little before Christmas and so far there're no visible signs of wear and tear. Great price for a great pair of boots, and I'm considering getting the brown pair, too. Full 5 stars - everyone loves a bargain that exceeds expectations!
