When I bought these boots I was looking for a less expensive equivalent to UGGs. I liked the price and I bought them. I really love them. These boots look great on my feet ( I have to say better than UGGs). They are very warm and very-very light. I really don't like heavy shoes that feel like bricks on my legs. With these boots I don't have such problem. They are true to size (for me anyways). They are pretty easy to clean and don't get too dirty overall. If I have a smudge, I just wipe it with damp cloth. These boots have a great quality and stand out in the crowd as different and unique. I like the puffs! Snow boots are not only for wilderness. I wear them everyday! Thank You!
