I love how the booties look, vintage distressed look. It's a bit difficult to get my foot in the booties as I wear thick socks but the tabs help. These boots have enough room to easily wear thick socks. Worn them for about 3 days and they are so comfortable. Especially with boots there is usually a break-in period, but they are quite comfortable. I will update my review after I get back from a trip where I will be using it in cold weather.
