For the most part these boots are worth it. They run a little big, I usually wear a 7 1/2 or 8 and bought a 7 and they fit perfectly.  Because I didn't pay a whole lot for these, I'm not that upset that they weren't what I expected.  If you have ever owned a pair of Uggs, you will be dissapointed.  The lining isn't nearly as warm or fluffy, and they just aren't quite as comfortable.  I was going to buy another pair in the taller version but I think I'll just save my money and wait to buy a pair of Uggs.  I will still wear them, but I wanted to have them for the winter when there is slush and snow, but that's not really possible because my feet would freeze anyway...maybe with some real thick socks they would be ok.
