I'd recommend adding more photos to this... soles, any interior size/model/info.

Hi Lindsey, my first thought when I saw these boots was they reminded me of a Bavarian/Austrian style. That led me to thinking they may be either walking or apres-ski boots... I found some info below, which would lead me to believe these are wintertime/sporty footwear. I think the Sun Valley on these boots refers to a Ski Resort, rather than a brand name - there is a famous ski resort in Idaho by that name...

I found these boots on Pinterest, although they are a different style/material, they do have the same Sun Valley logo...

I also found this ad, with the same Sun Valley ski resort logo... as the other logos for Aspen and Stowe are also US ski resorts, I'm fairly confident the Sun Valley logo here is referring to the resort based in Idaho.

As Cin mentioned, it would help to have some more photos - for example, the soles may be smooth or textured and that would help give a clue to their use, also if they are lined etc.

This is great information, thank you so much for taking the time to help me and post such a thorough response. The sole is textured but the boot is not lined on the inside.

If they are not lined, could they be overshoes?
I remember these and they were more of a boot not an overshoe. I actually had a pair when I was about 13 wore them with those stirrup ski pants. We used to wear those pants not only for skiing around here back then.
