I live in the tug hill region in the adirondack. I ordered these boots in black from 6pm.com and just received them today! They were for $44.50  which was kind of important to me! I do not have 100s of $ to shell out for uggs. If these last me 2 winters I'd say it was worth it! My first opinion on these is :They are big,I usually wear a size 7 but as per other people I decided to size down and get a 6.  This size is on the mark !! I have enough room for my toes so that they don't get mushed up and as of now they feel really warm! I haven't tried walking more than 5minutes in these yet but I will definitely update my review at a later time. They feel well made and I decided to put the water repellant stuff on  it before I start treading the snow..I just hope this pair lasts against the treacherous North Country Winter.

Ok , So I have been using these boots for about a month now and we had a couple of storms !These boots stood up pretty well.
My only complaint is that it has kind of lost its shape and after you wear it over a period of time you realize that these boots are really wide. They make my feet look really big! I was at a shoe store and compared the Uggs classic against these shoes. The uggs look more delicate and are a little narrower in the front. The uggs have a better fall on your feet !! I will probably upgrade to Uggs next season just beacause these make my feet look big !
These boots are really warm and keep my feet nice and toasty. I wear really think socks with these or else my feet would sweat. They are worth getting for like 45$ not more than that. Hope this helps!
