Well....I finally broke down and purchased theses after stalking them on Amazon and reading information on this company's website.  READ the story...Do yourself a favor and look it over so you can decided if you

1. should buy a faux fur--
2. what size to get....  and
3. what outsole to invest in....

I wear a size US7....always sandals, always shoes. Always.

To make it simple this shoe sole has a sizing closer to the way an UGG boot fits..

I always wear a size 6 in UGGS....

because of the sole (Vibram) type I ordered this shoe a whole size smaller than I usually wear.  I ordered this boot in a size 6, like I wear in UGGS they fit perfect...

They will conform to your feet in about two days.  OH...I should also mention that there is obvious RIGHT FOOT LEFT FOOT here so pick one remember which is which and stick with that.  When they're new you will kind-of-feel-like-they-look-like they're on the wrong foot....  They are very very very comfortable.....my husband hollers at me every night since UPS dropped these off because I jump into bed with them on.  Not sanitary after I've been wearing them outside all day I know.  But they are so comfortable.  My way of talking him into buying the "crepe"sole.  Those are more like slippers....So if you plan to wear these out, the Vibram sole is like a tennis shoe....the Crepe outsole is like a house-shoe...

Now as far as the fur thing...do what you believe...but do take a look at the website to see how these boots are made and the history behind it....

Lastly I live in Las Vegas it's not snowing here  yet...dunno whats wrong with this planet) but it gets cold to me....when I have to run out of the house, or run after my 3 yr old, or try to catch my 17 year old, these slip on fast and  are very comfortable and keep me WARM, and when your feet are warm your whole body is warm.  Strangely enough the style is adorable but the quality of practical use here has trumped the trend thing.... Oh and I still love my uggs, would never dis them, ever.  But they are getting very dusty this season....
