    A++++++ Absolutely perfect!!!! Everything about this transaction was perfect from the price, product and shipping. Communication from seller was left on a little note in the box which I liked when receiving my boots. On the note is stated if I was unhappy with anything to contact seller immediately which was a nice. Definitely would buy from seller again.
