I've wanted UGG boots for a while, but most of them just don't look like "me". Then I saw these and fell in love, but I kept putting off buying them because of the controversy over which size to buy.  Some reviewers say buy a size larger, others say a size smaller than your regular shoe size.  I wear a 7 1/2, so that just complicated it. Finally, I went in and tried on 7s and 8s in Dillard's, and honestly couldn't tell any difference.  So, when I finally decided to buy, I ordered a 7, and they fit just fine......I'm used to buying online these days, and I didn't care for the salesman's attitude in the store....made a rude reference to my age and that these were the cheap UGGs.....his loss.

I have foot issues, (too many years of standing in front of a classroom in high heels). I only buy comfortable foot ware these days, but I still want some style. These are like slipping my feet into a new pair of plush socks...I love that feel.

They do slip a little on my heel, but I haven't worn them much, and I'm hoping that stops when they conform to my feet. They seem sturdy.  You won't want to go sloshing through mud puddles in them, but for normal street wear, they'll do fine.
