'Classical Dot' Rain Boot

These are adorable boots and I wished they lasted longer, but I am writing this review to make consumers aware of the lifespan of these boots. I've owned them about a year now and have worn them maybe five or six times. What was a glossy sheen like the image online is now a cracked, flaking, dull, unattractive boot. I thought I had dust all over the boots for the longest time and when I finally tried to clean them, I realized the entire surface was slowly deteriorating. The boots are cute, but they won't last more than a few wears. The boots don't hold up to the rain after all.
