I bought these looking for an alternative to my Uggs. I've decided to stop buying animal products, so these looked like a great option. And they are but there are a few things I would change. They are certainly warm, though I have yet to wear them in the freezing cold, waterproof, sturdy yet very light and look great. The problem is the fit. I am a size 7 and bought a size 7. My foot fits but the shoe pushes my feet forward. Leaving room in the back and kind of pushing my toes into the front. I remedied this with thick socks, so that doesn't bother me anymore. The worse problem was the rim. They are very wide and when you walk they hit your shins. From walking in them to and from work, about 40 minutes in total, my right shin was cut by the rim, even though I was wearing knee highs which went way above the rim. I wore the knee highs under the thick socks (NAP socks specifically). I think if I wear a high and thick pair of socks this shouldn't happen again but I can't yet say for sure. And why was only my right leg the victim? I have no idea but I blame my right foot because it's never easy going with new shoes.
