I was looking for a pair of black, warm bootees. I live in New York and the winters are pretty cold. I looked at many websites and the prices were out of my reach. I found them and tried them based on the reviews. They are very comfortable, warm and look good on the foot. The faux Sherpa lining is also very soft. Only criticism is that the laces started to snap after the first use. I plan to replace the laces with better ones. For this money I am very satisfied.
