I fell in love with the look of these online and bought them. I put them on straight away and WOW! So nice and comfortable and I have had NO issues with putting them or taking them off whatsoever. I Exercise Daily and am fit but I don't think that has anything to do with it so I am guessing that perhaps there were a Couple of defective pairs? In any event the look is like a Boot that has been well worn and look amazing with Jeans especially classic 501's! Fit is very True to Size so none of that ordering up or down a size mess. The Comfort is simply Fantastic and I am wearing these as I type. The Warmth is outstanding and on Par with My UGG Boots so that to me says alot and these are alot less expensive. Pick up a pair here on Amazon and save some Money! Cheers :)
