I HAD TO GET A PAIR OF BOOTS. I HADNT HAD A PAIR IN GOD KNOWS HOW LONG. LAST WINTER MY PRADAS WAS MY BOOTS LOL. SO I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT THESE HUNTER BOOTS. MAINLY TO STEP IN PUDDLES WHNE EVERYONE ELSE WALKED AROUND THEM. THEY'RE PRETTY POPULAR AND I LIKE THE QUALITY. IF YOU CAN SEE HOW THE COLOR KIND OF ASHES OUT IT GIVES THE BOOT SOME KIND OF TEXTURE... JUST THE LITTLE BIT OF LIFE IT NEEDED. BTW THIS IS NOT A GOOD BOOT FOR THE WINTER PER SAY IT IS A RAIN BOOT HOWEVER YOU CAN USE THEM WHEN INSULATED.
