I was skeptical that a boot priced so low would be any good. It looks nice, fits nicely, no breaking in at all and is very comfortable to walk in. It's actually a very toasty boot too so it's not so good for warm weather wear. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is a style issue, I just don't like the stitching that goes across the toe. The zipper is a very handy, easy on/off feature.
