I've had these boots for a few days now and I think they are really great. I also own the tall apache lacers as well and they are great boots too.

Like I said in my review leave the ugg boots to the women folk. If you're lazy like me just slip these on to do chores around the house.

Bad thing is I put clear kiwi shoe polish on them and they are so soft and pliable that the polish cracked. Dumb move on my part. I used mink oil on my tall apache boots with great results. Best to put something on them when they are new because the leather around the ankles can be a little stiff when they are new and a little conditioner works great.

That last part was my fault which is why they get five stars. Slip them on and do some work, slip them off when you're done and have a whiskey cause these aren't lady drink ugg boots.
