I have owned a brown pair of Timberland boots for over 3 years and they have been through every possible weather circumstance. They still look like new and have great non-slip treads on the bottom that make them wonderful in snow. The inside is soft fuzzy faux fur and they snuggle your foot. They are weather proof, water proof and really cute. (much better looking than UGGS.) They keep your feet really warm but are comfortable in warm weather too. The sizing runs very true and even with thick socks were not tight. They have been my favorites for a long time. When I saw the black ones on Amazon I knew I had to have them.
