These boots are brilliant, this is my second pair, but sadly pregnancy changed my foot size. I had just bought these before my size changed. They are in VGUC and as you can see no tread on the bottom. These boots are amazing for walking in cold, and wet climates, they stay warm and dry. They are too warm IMO for summer but great for other 3 seasons. Pairs well with leggings, dresses, skirts, or skinny leg pants. LOVE these and will be buying a bigger size!
