I purchased these as an alternate pair for my daughter's birthday. She liked them a lot but thought they looked too serious for where she lives (Maryland). They were also a little big for her. I live in Colorado and they looked fine to me, and they fit, so I kept them. They have been very comfortable and my feet have stayed warm and dry. They are pretty serious snow boots and although I like the look, maybe a bit less fashionable. She loved the other boots (Sorel Tivoli Cordovan) so it worked out well.
