Do not buy these! I've now gone through THREE pairs in 2 years (one of them was another variant of this style) and every single pair was destroyed within several months. The last pair literally only lasted 3 months and cost $159 at Buckle. The sole gets filed down at the heal by simple everyday walking. Two of the three pairs I've had also SPLIT at the heel (sole), right down the middle of the outer side. I wish I had photos, but the boots were thrown out at the store I purchased new boots from.  I am absolutely shocked that a boot like this is being priced like it's quality made. I wasted nearly $500 on this brand. Lesson learned!
