I get complimented on these all the time when I wear them. Was hoping that the fur could be folded up and this boot could be converted to knee high, but there's too much space between the eyelets for that and the tongue is not tall enough. The zipper stopped under the cuff so that fur doesn't get caught in the zipper, which is a good thing to me. Wouldn't wear these in the snow, but I live someplace where the temperature never gets to freezing, so it shouldn't be a problem for me. The materials are pretty cheap, but was expecting that from the price.
