text: Right from when I opened the box I was disappointed, as soon as I took off the white tissue I noticed part of it was sticking to the boots. They were very sticky and my hands were covered in black goo which was all over the boots. It was difficult to wash it off my hands and I was worried that it would stain everything that it touched. I tried to wipe it with a damp towel and soap but no luck (touched the front of the shoe with some white paper so you can see). The only other thing is that it is very narrow around the ankle and very wide around the calves. I packed them back up less than 10 mins after opening the box, needless to say I was pretty bummed out.
