My wife loves them and the outfit versatility.  She said they are super comfortable and that is important because she has sensitive feet that get odd hives on them if her shoes aren't good enough.

People that complain about the "look" of the boot in person are crazy.  They are not advertised as real leather and they don't look like crappy vinyl.  So I'm not sure what the complaint is unless you didn't read the description completely.  They are actually quite nice and the pair I bought really do look exactly like the picture.  The size was right on as well.
