I'm a shoe freak and have been looking a long time for some moccasin-style boots with a thicker sole.  I have super high arches and the thin soles with no shock absorption on most moccasins mean I can't wear them for any length of time.

These are just awesome.  The faux fur is a super-cool look and the flannel on the inside means they're pretty warm (but not TOO warm, it won't regularly get below freezing for another couple of months here in the mid-South.)  I added one of those inexpensive gel inserts beneath the removable insole and now they're nearly as comfortable as another pair of boots that cost 3x as much.

I was torn between these and the ankle-height model and I like them so much I'll probably buy both.  The size is pretty right on, I'm usually between an 8.5 and a 9 and the 9 fits with a little room, so I could I wear them with socks but don't have to.  The shaft also leaves a little room, so you could get some jeans down inside these if needed.

Minnetonka is also crazy well made so I know these will last for years.  Buy with confidence!  Honestly I think these are a superb deal for the money.  I'm getting lots of compliments on mine.
