These boots are high quality and feel great.  I have had UGGs for years but did not want to spend $180 on a new pair.  For $70, I'd say these are a steal.  I wear an 8 1/2 and the 8's were a little snug upon arrival, but after wearing them around the house for a few hours feel much better. I think a 9 would have been too big.  My feet did not sweat in these even though they got HOT, which proved to me that they were really genuine sheepskin! They have a little bit thiner lining than UGGs do, but for over $100 less I am definitely not complaining!  I rated them a 4 because, to be honest, I think they are a bit uglier than my UGGs :)  The foot part is kind of poofy, and I don't like the tread.  However, my feet are warm, dry, and comfortable, and maybe I will get used to the different look!  Overall, I am more than satisfied with this purchase. Quality is great, they are really well made and soft!
