I looked FOREVER for a simple nice boot that wasn't insanely priced. These were perfect!They have a nice matte feel to the finish, they fit perfectly for my usual size, and the material is thick and sturdy. I could definitely see these lasting longer than others that I've had.Currently I have only had them a few months, but they are still perfect. I use them most days.The only con, if you could even call it that, is that they are a tiny bit squeaky, but honestly I don't care about that at all. ISee full review
