These are pretty nice shoes given the price. The zippers are a little hard to unzip and zip - But I'm not sure you really need to in order to put them on (I think its just fashion). I will admit that I was expecting a higher boot - the heel is about 2 inches tall and the sides of the shoe stop just above my ankle bone. Which is fine - I was expecting a bit more of a heel and for it to come up a bit farther is all. All and all they seem like a nice shoe. (They smell a bit like rubber but I think its just the packaging and a little deodorizer and usage should clear it up.)
