This is my second pair of Merry Bobbi boots. I bought the first pair maybe 5 years ago and I actually think the design tweaks to improve the boot of this second pair is amazing! They have definitely stepped up in little features that I feel make this boot better! I can’t believe this colour is being discontinued because it really coordinates so well with so many of my clothes.. dress it up or go casual. I bought this pair for school and shop runs, or even going out, which is why I also bought the care kit too. I wanted to keep this pair clean and tidy while my older pair is dirty and the rubber has dried out a lot more than I’d like because I left them in the sun (if anyone has tips to help restore them please let me know!). I honestly believe merry people boots are worth the money because they will last me 5 years or more.. that’s the type of boot worth investing in when I have a really tight budget. I’ve literally been wearing these boots every day since I got them last week.
