These boots are absolutely fantastic!  They are very comfortable (I wore them for 17hrs straight & was fine) and pretty durable as well (I've worn them through 3 thunderstorms already).  Best of all, they're flippin' adorable!  I liked the black ones so well, that I bought the brown ones, too, which are reminiscent of the boots that Princess Leah wore in Empire Strikes Back on the frozen planet of Hoth.  Who doesn't want to dress like a princess?
