I purchased these during a sale and got them for 26 bucks.  For that price, they are worth it.  For the regular price, they are overpriced and not an equivalent to UGGS. They are NOT WATER-RESISTANT.  It never mentions that they are in the description but as a new purchaser of boots like these...I assumed they were.  Big mistake.  The inner lining is wool and though soft, they are not as plush and feel somewhat sparce in areas.  Because of this, you feel the hard bottom of the boot more easily and in time, I feel it would wear down easily. One plus is that they run true to size. If you are looking for an alternative to UGGS, I would suggest the Stinger. Just like Uggs, water-resistant, plush, warm, and cheaper.
