Awesome AFTER a DIY fix to keep them up
OK, these boots are fantastic and stylish AFTER you do something about the fact that they fall down constantly. My first day wearing them, I pulled the ties tight and hoped they'd stay up but after two hours they were around my ankles. I looked around online for solutions but I didn't want to spend $20+ on a bootbra contraption so I improvised: I cut the tubes off a pair of crew socks, pulled them up to my thighs and rolled them tight to act as compression bands just under the boot ties, preventing them from sliding down past them. (Picture shows one band rolled in place, one unrolled for reference; I position those and then pull the boot ties super tight just over them). It works like a charm, and I have to retighten the ties once or twice a day only if I've been doing a lot of walking or stairs. With that fixed, I feel super comfy and stylish in them, I can wear them all day. They're soft, and they're WARM which is awesome for the fall and winter. They're flexible enough that I can wear them over jeans, tights, or just socks, and because they're so warm I can wear shorts and flash some thigh even on colder fall days. I'm also 6 foot and the boots come nicely up several inches past my knees. Very good for the price.
