I live in NYC and besides the regular pounding my feet get to and from places, up and down subway steps, etc, etc, I also work on my feet, often all day, outside, and when I'm not doing that, I have another job catering on my feet in dress shoes at night.  The lifestyle of most Actors in New York!

I am really hard on shoes.  And I am a vegan.  And I almost always am disappointed in shoes I buy.  Some normal boots from department stores have fallen apart in a week because they're just not made for the constant and rough usage I put them through.

But these boots are so comfortable!  I wish they were waterproof (which I didn't expect them to be, but it would be cool) and didn't have crappy shoelaces, because otherwise, for me they are perfect.  My feet feel so supported and cushioned and the traction is fabulous.  I even climbed rocks on a slippery mountain and stomped through country cornstalk mazes in my first pair.  They are cute and stylish and I've had many people ask me where I got them.

I also almost never write reviews on Amazon.  For these boots I have broken my silence!  I don't know why others them such bad reviews.  I love them.
