I love these boots. My mother brought a pair back from Australia about 5 years ago and I thought they were so ugly. I finally broke down and bought a pair after listening to her brag about how warm they were - my feet are always freezing. Well, they keep my feet warm and are soft and cozy. I wear my pants over them and no one seems to really notice that I'm wearing boots all the time. I wish I had a second pair to wear around the house.
