I used these for both of my sons (man I didn't realize I never reviewed these until I saw it in my list of things to review).  I like the pull at the top of it because it keeps snow from going inside the boot.  The buckles are a little too cheap on the bottom but they did not break.  They served their purpose of being snow boots, granted each of my sons only wore them two times each (in a two year span, as they are different ages).
