I saw the regular bailey button boots and loved them but didn't want to pay the full amount I had been seeing in regular shoe stores. I saw this option and thought they were much cuter than the regular bailey buttons. They add a bit more edge than your standard Ugg boot. They look great on! This is my first pair of Ugg boots after a wise investment in Ugg slippers earlier this year. I read the reviews and most of them said they ran big. I'm usually a 7.5 and order a 8 in my generic boots. Well, the difference between a 7 and 8 was $40, so I decided to go with a 7 to save some $. They are a bit snug. The weather warmed up after I got them so I've only worn them once so far. I haven't decided whether I'm going to send them back and pony up the $40 for a size up, or if I'll wear them and see if they'll stretch out a bit. Either way, they keep my feet toasty warm which was the motivation for the purchase.
