COOOOOOOMFY is the best way to describe these boots.  Easy on and off, you can wear them up or cuff them down for a different look.  They are great with socks and great without.  This is my third pair of ULUs and the quality is always great.  The leather in this pair isn't as thick as my others, but the others are more outdoor hiking, these appear more fashion oriented.  Either way, ULU rules!!
