These boots were a wonderful surprise!  There weren't many reviews, but all were good, so I bought them at an excellent price (with free shipping, yay Amazon!) Though I already own three other pairs of Ulus (2 shearling clogs and one leather/shearling boots) I was thrilled with the stylishness of these.  I was going for cute and practical with emphasis on practical and these delivered. The soles are strong with excellent traction and keep the suede out of the slush, and the rest of the boot is quite attractive and incredibly warm.  I cannot believe the relatively tiny price I paid for this quality.  Ulus are my faves among my many pairs of sheepskin footwear including Emus premium, Uggs Classics, and Brumby lug soles.  They run true to size and wear like iron.
