Hesitating between 4 and 5 stars. They are everything I was hoping for the price. So far so good, they look nice, fit well and are already in use by my 11 year old. She has an 8 1/2 slightly wide foot (and growing) the size 9 feels like the right size to last the entire season with comfort. I can update if any issues arise, right now, extremely pleased with quality and appearance.  It seems the shaft has a nice woolly lining and the footbed is sheepskin - seems like a good compromise to keep the price down - and they were a bargain! Nice suede, I like the sole, the little metal tag at back is a nice detail, daughter says she can't always tell the right from the left (they are sort of shapeless, aren't they!) but provides quick on off warmth and no toe squashing - what's not to like? I also saw the same boot 'on sale' for  2 1/2 times the price in a store - so it helped to see them in person for making the plunge.
