These are the real deal, lined and waterproof. Made in Canada. 13.5" high (mid calf) leather boot, with a slight wedge heel and side-zip. Flat soles, meant for city wear not trekking. Not bulky. Just understated and useful. Needs new inner soles, but you were going to replace those anyway. Worn a couple winters, so they've got wear but these boots last forever. Retails for $650-400 when new. (Since moving to southern California, I don't need snow boots. These need a new home.)
