I've had my boots for about a month now.  Overall, I really like them.  Appearance-wise, they are distinct from a lot of other boots I see out there.  I liked the shiny, metallic fabric on the inside of the boot.  They are very light-weight, almost like wearing socks on the bottom, so I wouldn't suggest wearing them for a lot of walking, nor through wet patches as the water will seep through.  They are an unusual shade of gray--almost tan intermingled with the gray.  I do not particularly care for the tassles/fringe or whatever you wish to call them on the back.  The first time I wore these boots, those two tassles acted like whips, slinging around from side to side when I walked anywhere.  I felt like I should wear a sign:  Warning--if you walk too close, your ankle will be slapped!  Now I just tuck the tassles inside the boot, and they seem ok.
