When I pulled the strings, one of the string holes broke. They steam up, so I cant really see the fun socks. Kinds dumb, but kinda fun. After about a week, the fun wore off. The tops are sharp, so I always have to wear high socks, and fold them over the top of the boot. The bottoms got dirty fast, and they don't clean easy. They were a conversation piece, they are not something that is practical.
