I have a larger circumference of leg than most people, so I have to buy boots I can lace or button up to ensure they will fit. These did fit...but the quality of these boots was a little cheap. I decided to "upgrade" from my airwalks and go with BEARPAW since my feet were getting very cold during the winter. Four days after I received the boots one of the middle elastic loops snapped out of the stitching, and will not fit back in to save my life so I can repair it. I have had to wrap the broken string around the tassle 5-6 times then tuck the remaining elastic between the boot and string so it will not unwind. I am really afraid the rest of the elastic loops are going to do the same thing, so I have to pull the fabric together as tight as I can before hooking them up.
The bottom of the boot is quality rubber. The wool lining is warm, but has compacted quite a bit in the couple weeks I have had the boots. The overall design is cute, but I feel like the boot will rip apart on me at any moment if I put too much pressure or tension on any of the seams.
