I bought these boots in November. It's only mid-February and I have to throw them away. I live in Minneapolis, MN and we have winter here. Therefore, I wore my boots pretty much every day - walking my dog, taking public transit, etc. I did not expect these boots to last forever based on the price but I did think I'd at least be able to make it to spring. I was wrong. The seam between the sole and the rest of the shoe has split, meaning I have gaping gashes which let snow seep in. The sole itself seems to be crumbling internally, leading to bumps and holes directly below my heel. The outer materials are flaking and falling off.

I would only recommend these for people who live in warm climates who need boots for a week-long trip North. Even then, you're better off finding something without a zipper which also lets in moisture.
