I will be returning these boots. My biggest problem is that I was not able to get my foot into the boot. Even with the "loops" unfastened, I found that the shearling liner kept sliding down, making it impossible for my foot to go all the way in. In fairness, I have to note that I have some leg problems which most certainly contributed to the problem. I also found that the boots were very heavy. I am not sure I would have been comfortable in them even if I had been able to get them on.
