I read the reviews of these, and was worried they weren't gonna work for me.  I saw them in the store...tried them on...and saw that they wanted $70 for them!  When I saw them online, and they only wanted $32 (that was WITH shipping)...I was sold.  I live in the Mid-West, and we've received over 12" of snow this winter...and I LOVE them...I've worn them almost every day since they came in, I've gone sledding in them, I've shoveled snow in them...and chased my 4 year old around the house in them.  I really don't know what more you can ask for!  I have not had a SINGLE issue with them falling apart or anything (like some of the other reviews I read)...so I don't know if their shoes had been used as a chew-toy...but mine haven't fallen apart yet.  Come to think of it...for $32...if they last more than this year, then I've gotten my money's worth as far as I'm concerned.  If you can't afford the $200 UGG...these will do...FOR SURE!
