I have never seen printed boots like these before, and based on the reviews of those who have them (mostly positive), I decided to try them. I ordered size US 9M although I wear size 8.5M, and the shoes fit perfectly. They look just like the picture, and I am sure that I will be asked about them. They are not heavy at all, and look well-made; the fabric is canvas and is soft and flexible; I will not be wearing them out in the snow, of course, but I am sure that I can wear them at any other time. I am happy that I bought them. I opted for next-day delivery because I could not wait to try them on, and I am happy with the purchase. I would like to get more like them in the future.
