[...]These are wonderful boots, my daughter treated them like toys.  She wanted to wear them daily inside the house until they had their first real use.  They do a great job in the rain, but my daughter would fall over into the huge puddles getting the water and dirt into the boots.  They clean up real nice but takes awhile for the inside to dry out.  A friend of mine recommended leaving the boots inside otherwise they would fade.  We've not had them awhile and they look nearly brand new.  My little one is starting to grow out of these and we'll surely be ordering another western chief boot for her again.
