Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the laces, not being able to do anything with them is kind of frustrating. If the shoes don't fit exactly right from the zipper on the inside, you can forget adjusting it. The tongue is sewn to the body of the boot so adjusting the laces is pointless. The boot is very warm and comfortable. Just couldn't give it 5 star because of the laces, or rather their lack of functionality.
