I bought an identical pair of these a year ago and wore them almost daily through winter. They stood up great and still look awesome, although the lining is obviously not as fluffy. My original pair cost me about $120, so when I saw them discounted I didn't hesitate to buy a second pair. Since buying them I have heard that ULU have ceased manufacturing and am heartbroken, as they make the BEST winter boots. These are so cosy, great grip and just the right height up the leg.
