I loved these boots when I got them, my girls both have had Uggs for several years and I finally broke down and got myself a pair.  I wanted a dark pair and the dark brown bomber boots looked perfect, I had seen them in the stores and had lusted after them for at least a year.  I had read another review that said the "bomber" came off and I just couldn't imagine that happening, I thought that person must be goofy.  Well, trying to be good, after only wearing them once (inside) I treated them with the Uggs spray protectant and guess what?!!  All of a sudden I have sand colored Uggs with a dark brown heel.  Crazy!  No dark brown bomber leather texture, just plain ol' sand colored.  If only I had listened to the other reviewer!!!  I would have just ordered chocolate brown Uggs.  UGH!!!  :  p  They are still deliciously comfortable, but when you pay that much money for a pair of boots, it would be nice if they stayed the color/texture they bought.  If it is a known issue that the protectant spray takes off the bomber texture, the boots should NOT come with the recommendation to treat them immediately.
