first let me say THESE ARE NOT UGG BOOTS. I don't understand why some folks keep comparing these boots to Ugg boots.  you get what you pay for, and since I only paid $15 for them I think I have a really good pair of house shoes. They keep my feet toasty warm, even my toes.  none of my expensive house shoes can do that.  they are not sheepskin, but rather of cowhide and merino wool.  these are not winter boots.  if you go on the Ukala website they describe their boots as Fashion Boots.  clearly that should tell you that these boots are not made for walking in below zero temps in a foot of snow with slush and whatever else. These are for fashion. The wool is a bit scratchy (some of the wool came out of the boot) and the sole is stiff and a bit slippery in the house, so I won't even try wearing them out in frigid Michigan winters. They would be good for Fall, Spring, and Summer. Not Winter. They are good for what they are.....fashion boots.
