These are my favorite design by far. I found myself buying a pair every year as they would be well worn until this last pair. These were only worn once or twice. I'm unable to wear any boots or heels following an injury. These have Studded straps on the bottom, a buckle back enclosure and a zippered opening that spans nearly the entire boot. Please ask any questions you may have prior to purchase as there are no returns or refunds. Thank you.
