Christmas gift from 2014, and they have held up so well. They have been stored in a covered storage box when not worn. Also, due to the knitted covers and leather, they were not worn in rain or snow. I haven't been wearing at least the past 6 years, as I just uncovered this weekend when cleaning out the closet and found on a top shelf. They are in good condition and have no visible wear. I unfolded the knitted section to see how it covers the boot to show the zipper and boot structure beneath. I am a size 5.5, but the boot size is a 6. Can be worn with thicker socks, and your feet stay so toasty.
