Sure to become my go-to footwear for quick getaways in winter. Perfect for when shoelaces are just too much trouble, these are much more comfortable than I expected. The wool lining is, of course, superb, and negates the need for thick, fluffy socks. The boots are sturdy, yet sleek, and densely black. Quite beautiful. I was looking for some elasticised boots for relief from my Doc Martins (which I love) but let??s face it, it??s an effort to loosen all those laces. I have one bunion only, on my left foot which causes many problems when purchasing footwear, as I usually have one shoe that fits well, and one that doesn??t. I think these will work though. If only winter was real where I live, I might live in them.
