At first I thought these shoes were a little too colorful for my taste but I have come to love them because they look like no others I've ever seen.  The quality of their craftsmanship is obvious once you see them and try them on.  All of the stitching and seams are excellent quality.  They look great with casual wear. They're very comfortable because of the Nike Air cushioning they have and the shearling lining. They're really warm because the lining starts at the toes and goes all the way up to the tops. Your feet will not get cold in these boots. They are also waterproof so they are perfect for cold, wet, crappy days. They also have excellent treads on the bottoms so you won't be slip sliding around in them.  If you really like plaid like I do, you'll like these boots too.
