I bought 4 pairs of these boots. I needed a pair of boots to wear walking from car to work and my daughters needed a pair of boots for quick campus walks (running out to car, laundry etc). These boots were on sale for 23.99 and I must say you get what you pay for. They will serve their walk from here to there purpose but I would not count on these as a winter boot to play in the snow. I am from Michigan and there is no way these would be good in our winter. However, I did purchase them as a run errands or get me in the door to work boot so for those purposes I am pretty happy with my purchase! Can't beat the price--was cheaper than the girls getting slipper boots! They are true to size.
