"I was so excited when I received these boots as a Christmas present from my husband...I had wanted them for months. Unfortunately, the seam where the top folds down in the back was torn and I had no idea how long it would take to lace & unlace them. As a mother of 2 small children, I don't have the extra 2o min. prep time! And when I was taking them off, my hand slipped and the area that is cut-out, ripped. I also don't like the fringe dragging on the ground. I need something a little less high maintenance...but definitely cute!"
