I bought these for a trip to Europe. I used them for two weeks. (I wore other shoes while there, so I actually only wore these for a week.) I haven't used them since, so they're not particularly dirty and should be good for wear in the coming seasons. They're a sold-out item on the website, so the actual photos are from the order page, and the model photos are just for reference. I walked in them, and they didn't make me tired at all. The opening is ribbed knit, so they're easy to put on, don't slip off, and have a great fit. Also, they don't interfere with your clothes, so you can wear them without looking bulky. They have a moderate platform, so they give you a little height. I've cleaned off any dirt and stored them carefully. Thank you! Ribbed knit short boots Side gore boots Platform boots Sock boots
