I was very excited to receive these boots. I tried them on and felt like I was trying on a pair of Gene Simmons boots. The bottom of these boots appeared to be twice the size of any other boot I have tried on. I wanted to endure this craziness but started running and the horrible heel slip was too much for me to walk in. I kept them for a total of 4 minutes, put them back in the box and sent them back the next day. Personally, I was very disappointed in them.
