These are great boots.  I bought them for my husband who lives half the time in Michigan and the other half here in California.  Obviously, these boots are for Michigan.  Anyway, he needed new boots and I thought I'd try these.  He loved how comfortable they are right off the bat without having to break them in.

However, the only issue is the room around his ankles.  He says that since these boots are extremely warm, he won't put on thicker socks otherwise his feet will sweat.  Yet, it's like you need the thicker socks to "bulk up" the part around the ankles since it's too roomy there.

They should have made this a zipper boot with a stretch material to eliminate the room around the ankles.  Instead, this is a 100% slip-on boot with nothing to tie and zip and that's a design flaw.

These would literally have been the perfect boot if they tied in the front or zipped.  Great boot.  Warm.  Broken in.  Extremely comfortable.  There's just too much room around the ankles causing them to fit a tad uncomfortably while letting the cold in at the ankles.  (But hey, at least the toes are warm...right?)

This is why I live in California.  I don't even have to deal with these types of worries here.  ;-)
