The New England winters, and the flood of positive Amazon reviews, eventually convinced me to buy this product. I love it. As others observed, the size tends to run big -- buy one size smaller than your actual size for a perfect fit! I usually stick my bare feet in these bad boys, and I am one happy camper. Only flaw so far is some of the fur gets worn down, or clings to my stockings, so it looks bald when you look inside. I've been careful not to get them wet, so they're still going strong! Planning to buy tall ones next year.
