I have been wearing these type of boots for a number of years, long before they became fashionable. They are a better price than the Ugg brand, although some designs are virtually identicle. These boots are indestructible, durable, extremely warm due to their thick fleece lining which reaches right through to the toes and most important of all sooooo comfortable! I have them in a number of colours and the tan ones I have even washed in the washing machine with very good results. I would not trade them in for the world.
