I just couldn't figure out how to justify getting a $200 suede boot that doesn't look like it will hold up and doesn't look like it has much support for my foot.... Then I found the Croc!  Do as everyone says, get the next size up.  I wear a 9.5 or 10, so ordered the 11 and it is perfect, comfortable, soft, warm, without all that fur...  I recommend these highly.
