We got these for my daughter, since her feet are constantly growing, and I didn't want to invest in an expensive pair. She loves them, they stand up very well to daily use in and around the barn and are easy to clean. If the need be, they can just be hosed off, unlike leather, which would get damaged. The zipper is handy and makes getting in and out a breeze. I will buy these again when seh needs a new pair.
