I bought these boots 2 years ago at Mast General Store in the spring for only thirty bucks! I got the orange pattern. This past fall, I saw them back up to triple digits, then back down again in the spring. If you can wait for a bargain, these things do come down in price. They are so comfortable and warm! I love wearing them with tights and a cotton dress. I'm a teacher with back problems so I need comfy shoes! I wear an 8.5, but they only had a 9. They fit well, with a thick sock or just tights. I also have muscular calves and can't always get tall boots that fit around my leg, but these do, just! I do wish I could wear them with more outfits since they feel so good, but orange zig-zag striped boots just don't go with everything, lol!
