Being that this is my first winter in Alaska, I knew i'd need some serious winter boots and after searching and searching I found these. Great boot for the price. They're a bit heavy, so if you have to walk long distances be ready for the extra strain on your legs but they're waterproof and so warm my feet are almost hot! They go up just high enough to look trendy and keep your feet/legs warm and try when trucking through deep snow. They're really cute too, love the way they look with my jeans tucked in them. And surprisingly the white hasn't gotten as dirty as I expected. I usually wear an 8.5-9 depending, so I just went with the 9 so i'd have room for heavy socks. Great fit. I one hundred percent recommend these, they're great!!
