I bought these for my Fiance for christmas 2 years ago. I wasn't sure if he would wear them or not- but he tried on my regular Uggs, as a joke, and was very surprised how comfy and soft they were. So I figured I'd give it a shot, at least it would make a funny joke if he never wore them. I got them for him in the black leather- and they look like regular loafers. He put them on, and was amazed at how awesome they felt on his feet. He said I was right- they are some of the most comfortable shoes he has ever owned. He wore them EVERYWHERE. Since they have the hard rubber sole, he isn't limited to wearing them around the house. He told me this is the best christmas gift he has ever gotten, and that he has gotten the most use out of them. He wore them all the time, not just in the winter. He wore them until our puppy ended up eating out the sole (not sure how that one happened). So I wish Ugg made the soles replaceable in this model. Then the puppy ended up actually eating the top of the shoe. So I ended up having to get him a new pair this past christmas- and once again he's been using them  all the time he loves them. And another bonus, he doesn't make fun of me for wearing Uggs anymore, he understands that you can't compete with the comfort and softness!
