I bought these for my college-aged daughter, hoping to find something that would be not only fashionable, but versatile enough to get a bit of wear through our fickle (but usually dry) Texas winter and spring. They're exactly what I wanted for her - not so heavy as to be solely a "winter" boot, but super cute with a skirt and tights or (of course) skinny jeans.  She wasn't sure about the square toe at first, but has worn them several times and they seem to be her go-to with jeans now.
