I thought the fabric would be a little more stringent, so that I would have a straight look on my leg, it slouches a bit, and I have big calves so it should be really taut, but its not.  Inside the foot there is a sort of cuff for your foot that kind of gets in the way.  It definately would be uncomfortable if you don't have the boots on straight/correctly.  There is absolutley no tread.  None.  I thought there would be at least a little bit.  The buckle on the bottom part of the boot is loose and kind of hangs.  Its not tight.  I wanted some flat boots so this will do, but I definately don't think its worth the money.
