I would have loved this boot. When I received the pair I was disappointed to see how much fur was at the top of the foot hole. The picture makes it look like just a small amount. It was part of the lining which is removable, but that would have made them ill-suited for Northern Maine winters. This is a personal preference though regarding styling. I learned I just don't like furry boots. If that hadn't been there, I would have been thrilled. They fit really well. Nice and snug, but not too tight. I could tell they would have been really warm too. Good solid construction and not too bulky in the foot area. Bummer...
