I was in lust over these books for the longest time, and then I finally broke down and ordered them.  Right off the bat when I tried them on, one of the strap snaps broke (at the top, that holds the liner in).  Then they looked awful on.  I thought was going to be some sexy eskimo in these books, but that plan was a huge fail. They looked more like a burly Nordic guy's boots.  I returned them.
