“You just can’t beat it,” she said of the deal. "I was shocked."
While some similarly-priced boots can be found on websites like Amazon, other boots can cost hundreds.
The price typically varies based on the quality of materials used for the boot.

“My Walmart was recently upgraded, and now when I’m shopping here, it’s just always a vibe.”
Walmart has upgraded over a thousand stores in recent years as the company attempts to update its image.
The remodels include new signage, new paint, and more carts.
The company said its remodels are made for “leveraging our stores to welcome people to a more modern, highly-connected Walmart.”

The upgrades are not the only changes coming to the retailer.
The company recently unveiled a “buy now, pay later” crediting system.
At self checkouts, customers will be able to use credit from Walmart for purchases of $144 or more.
Customers will then be able to use up to $4,000 in credit.
This debt can then be repaid in three to 24 months.
Economists have raised concerns about the plan.
"This is happening during a time when credit card debt already at record high," one warned.
Other social media users pointed out that many who take advantage of such credit programs are in financially precarious situations — meaning they may struggle to repay.
Some took to social media to predict that this extension of credit could be disastrous for the store and the economy.
