They are costume boots. What does this mean? Not much in way of support and the exterior around the ankle collapses just like the image. Also, the zippers are touchy, so no being rough with them. For the price, they are exactly what you would expect. I plan on wearing these for a number of outings, not just once, and they will handle that just fine. I've used other Funtasma boots and they are still going strong after dozens of uses and miles of walking. I put in my own supports, so they feel just fine on my feet after a couple hours of wear and really, that is a necessity. If you are looking for inexpensive costume boots, Funtasma is the standard. If you want something better, expect to spend a lot more money.
