These boots are fantastic for both LA and Paris. In LA, where there are no seasons, these faux fur boots help you feel like it's cold outside. In Paris, where it's legitimately cold and fur is worn for warmth, these were a delight to walk around in. The boots are lined with something that feels like faux cowhide, so they're not overly hot like uggs can be. I bought 3 pairs of Miz Mooz black boots and kept only these. They rose to the top due to a) cuteness, b) comfort and c) some of the others added girth to my legs in a way I didn't like.
