I got these since I needed a "going out" boot that I could wear in the wintry weather. These do the job. I saw reviews that they can scruff easily so I've been careful about wearing them. Also, I didn't read this before buying them but the inside is lined with a plaid print. I tried folding the cuff and first buckle over to show a little bit of that but it doesn't seem to be intended to. Strange. Also not crazy about the "stitching" part around the sole that's visible in the front. Wish it blended in more. But for the price it's a decent boot overall.
