i love tecnica moon boots. it may be faux shearling but it gets my feet quite toasty. the foot bed is such a pleasure. i plan on walking all across the city in these. i wear them around the house, too. such a breath of fresh air from seeing everyone in their ugly @ggs.

also, the taller boot may be a little more challenging to fit jeans inside if you have larger calves. not really an issue with the shorter boot as you have more room to stuff straight, wide or flare leg jeans into them.
