When I saw these boots and realized they were "Tecnica" and on sale! I truly bought them in a heartbeat. They looked so soft, smooth and warm that I just had to have them. Big mistake! The color is nice and soft and they are warm but that's about it. These boots are not made out of soft suede as you would expect. They are very "rigid" and it would be very difficult to pair them up with anything but leggings which is not something that I wear to work or anywhere else for that matter. So sad to return them! They were not what I was expecting at all.
