I have to say I have enjoyed these boots. I purchased in Paris and it rained every day and the snow from Germany even the sand in Miami I wore it to the beach because the sand is so hot. This is an all terrain all weather boots. It’s literally a good buy for the money. Now I would like to get something else I am selling it. Note: the strap cut on one side but can be fixed at the cobbler and or with glue. The box I left in Paris but these boots are amazing!!! Size 40 can fit a size 8 or 9. Comfortable and very stylish. I got a lot of compliments on it.
