 Great! October 31, 2008
Bought these since I just moved to Chicago from the South and needed some cold weather attire. I placed the order late Friday night, and the boots were here by Wednesday by UPS. Amazing speed! Very comfortable, my feet were warm in the cold, and didn't get too warm while indoors. Base of shoes is light and flexible. Chestnut color is warm and the inner "fluff" layer is creamy. In the opening part, you can tuck in hem of your pants and jeans, but it also fits underneath straight-cut pants legs. I now want to get a taller pair too!
I'm quite picky about shoes, and I recommend these wholeheartedly!
Very Comfortable, Very Warm October 29, 2008
I have unusually wide and short feet - I can wear anything between a 4 in kids (I have a pair of knock-off boots like these from Target's kids section in a size 4), to a 7.5 in women's (I have another knock-off pair from Target in a women's size 7). None of my cheaper pairs are comfortable after wearing them a few times, nor are they especially warm.
I was surprised when I slipped these on upon their arrival today at how well they fit. I immediately applied the weatherproofing spray that came with them, and, also included were a pair of inserts.
This was a great deal. After two-day shipping, I paid about $50, which is about the combined total of my other two pair of cheap boots. I bought the unisex pair in a men's 6/women's 7.
The true test will be how well they hold up trudging two blocks each morning to work in the snow, and around campus this winter a couple of days a week, but I was really glad that I was able to get these right on. They are only slightly snug around the calves (I've got some muscular ones).
 7 too small, 8 too big! October 26, 2008
I really wanted for this boot to work out for me. I am a size 7 in sneakers and boots usually. Based on the advice at Warmbat.com's website I ordered a 7, and my big toe literally hurt after wearing them for only a half hour inside the house. So I returned them and got an 8...but they are too big! At first in the house they felt like they'd be okay and I wore them outside...but even with the insoles that are provided (which make my feet sweat and developed a wrinkle in them that was really uncomfortable after a few hours) they slip around on my feet. The next day my one foot was even sore in the heel (and in contrast to another review, I find them to be poorly cushioned on the bottom). So, now I can't return them, and am left trying to find an insert that might make them work. I am not feeling optimistic, though...I think I wasted my money.
THESE BOOTS ARE FLIPPIN AWESOME! October 10, 2008
I LOVE THESE BOOTS! I just got them yesterday, but I loved them from the moment I first slipped them on. I was worried about the fit because some other reviewers said they ran small...I ordered my normal size and while they are a tad snug, it's not uncomfortable at all, more like a little furry critter gently hugging your foot! I think with a little bit of breaking-in they'll loosen up to be just right. The quality of these boots are so great. I've ordered EMUs for the kids and a pair of Staheekums for my husband and those totally suck in comparison to MY boots. I wish I'd known about these before I ordered theirs.
Great Shoes! October 3, 2008
Just came today (5 days earlier than expected)! I must be honest, I ordered these boots knowing they're not the most attractive shoes but they are actually cuter than I expected them to be; I can weart them to school without feeling like a dope. Mine are chestnut and the color is prettier than most chestnut ugg boots. They are also extremely comfy; I'm weariong them still right now. Only thing is that they didn't come with the Sheepskin Water repellent that was promised but I'll contact them and see if they can send me it.
