Received these today and I couldn't resist wearing them, even though it was too warm for boots. The quality is excellent! It said they were wool lined, and I expected a thin wool, but they're actually lined with sheepskin! These boots have everything you could want: waterproofing (not just water resistant), steel shank, side zip, total comfort, and cute as ever! My husband, an engineer, said he was very impressed with the quality, and that's saying a lot. The only thing I would change would be removable foot pads so I could put my inserts under them and change them out when I need to.
