Holy cow BUY THESE SHOES!
These are awesome!! I have serious foot problems and they are so comfy. They not only feel like a sneaker but a QUALITY sneaker with support. I don't understand the Ugg fascination; I think my Uggs hurt and have no support. These are great. AND looks-wise they are hot! But not cheesy hot because they aren't high heeled so you don't look like a stripper. But they are higher than they look in the picture which I like. The only drawback is the flowers look a little cheesy to me but they've actually grown on me and I like them now. Awesome boots can't wait to see if they do well in the snow and really are water/cold proof; that will put me over the edge of happiness. I wear a 7.5 or 8, bought the 8 and they are perfect. If you fluctuate, go with the higher number but they aren't so tight that you need to buy a bigger size necessarily.

Best snow boot I've ever had!
Besides being beautiful, these are extremely comfortable. They are warm and cozy without socks in the deepest snow. When I come back into the house I don't even want to take them off. They still look like new, it's amazing. I should get a few winters out of these beauties. They definitely beat Uggs.

Absolutely Fab -
First day: wore the boots to an outdoor winter concert in a blizzard, danced on ice for three hours. Walked the two miles back. Bought my usual size.

The perfect boots -
These boots are WAY more comfortable than I was expecting. I tried the Sorel "Annah" boots and the Kamik "Broadway" boots and these Ulus were the clear winner. I wear an 8-8.5 and so I ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfectly, with or without socks. They are so comfortable that they feel like tennis shoes. I have high arches and narrow feet and these boots feel perfectly broken in, supportive, and comfy right from the 1st moment of putting them on! I live in Las Vegas so I can't exactly put these to the test as far as how warm they are in cold weather, but they seem toasty to me. The rabbit fur is absolutely gorgeous. I am looking forward to wearing these to be FASHIONABLE (which is amazing since I originally purchased these just to be WARM). I will definitely buy more Ulus in the future. They are very well made and DEFINITELY worth the money!

Boots For Life -
I bought the black boots two years ago and I wear them so often that I recently bought the brown boots with flowers just to give my black boots some time off. I love them. I get compliments every time I wear them. Everyone wants to know where I got them and I tell them Zappos.com. The boots are the most comfortable boots you will ever find. You can walk all day long in them. I will definitely buy a third pair before the year is over. Life is too short to not get at least one pair of these boots.

Bomb Cute Super Cozy Boots -
First I must say these boots are cute as hell but do order 1/2 size up they run a little snug. I took the advice of other reviewers and did just that, I wear a 7 1/2 ordered the 8 and they fit perfect. I order 1/2 size up with all Ulu. Super comfy cozy and the embroidery with rabbit fur just make them hot and a must have. The insulation makes them super warm. I have the black and the brown and just adore them both. You can’t go wrong with Ulu...I have four pairs total and they are all comfortable and cute. Bought these for a Colorado adventure...they fit the bill.

FANTASTIC!!! Free Next Day Shipping and taxes, ordered them @ 8 pm and received them the next day, couldn't believe it. I am a size 6 ½, ordered a size 7, and the reviews were correct. 7 was the perfect fit. They look great and when the snow clears here in NY, I will definitely show them off.

Worth Every Penny!
These boots are, by far, the best pair of winter boots I have ever owned. Not only do they look bad-ass they keep your feet perfectly warm. Rarely is a pair of shoes/boots ordered via the mail even better than they seemed in the catalog. These boots are BETTER than you expect. Other reviewers have mentioned these boots come a half-size too small so I ordered a half-size up. Consequently mine are about a quarter size too big. However, it leaves room for air in the boot keeping my feet very warm and no blisters. So the size issue is a toss up. The only small complaint I have is how to keep the fur clean. Winter is messy and so will your boots be. Instructions on care for these costly little bunnies would be nice; otherwise these boots are everything they advertise and more. I'd own three pair if I could afford it. Enjoy!

Happy feet -
These boots are warm and comfortable. I wore them today at picnic at a local (Anchorage, Alaska) park. Standing and sitting in the 5 degree (F) temperature for two hours didn't faze my feet.
The footbed insulates well, at the same time cradles my foot. I have weak ankles and need more support than most soft boots provide. Happily, these boots keep my feet and ankles secure.
Some may find the slippery cords a problem, but I tie them using the "better bow" technique and then they hold well.
They appear well made and I expect to have them for several seasons.

Warm and stylish---not klunky -
I tried to like the look of Uggs for the warmth but felt "dumpy" these Maleka's had the warmth but more of their own style and get dozens of compliments.
Great with jeans' tuck in easy. Synthetic lining with a /shearling bottom kept my extra wide foot very warm with a thin sock. I am a 6 1/2 wide and was comfortable in the 7 my - size 7 1/2 daughter also fits into the 7's they are roomy without being sloppy. The only regret is with a pair of the traditional Uggs I may have gotten more indoor use - the Maleka's can be worn either but only in bad/very cold weather due to the fur and look without seeming ridiculous. I LOVE them. They made me enjoy the cold and snow!

The boot is VERY comfortable but IT is smaller than your regular size. I'm between a 7.5 and an 8 and I actually need an 8.5. In regard to the color I really didn't care for it. It's not a bad a color it's just not what I was looking for. If it were a different brown. I'm sure I would love it.

Great winter boot.
Love them; different then Uggs! Wore them 5 hours outside at Cleveland Browns football game, kept my feet toasty. Cleaned up spots off of them without a problem. Just tested them out in the snow and they hold up wonderfully. I usually wear size 8.5 and ordered up ½ a size to 9. Only light socks needed. If you wear heavy socks your feet sweat.

Everyone will ask you WHERE you got them!
This is my second pair of Ulu's... I have to say they are hands down my favorite 'throw-on-with-jeans' winter boots! I wore them in northern Minnesota during a trip and had warm, dry and stylish feet all weekend.
People stop me all the time and ask where I got them. The other great thing about Ulu's is that you won't see them on EVRYONE like you do with Uggs. Great boot at a great price.

Ulu's Makea -
Perfect fit seeing I wear between a 5.5 and a 6. I went with the size 6 and they fit perfect. My back feels really balanced and has great arch support. They don't feel big and clumsy like snowmobile boots and are warmer too. Very cute and comfortable boot!! Love them!!
Will buy again for sure!

Disappointed -
Contrary to what some of the reviewers suggest these boots feel a little smaller than marked. I normally wear a 7 or 6.5 and ordered a 7 but I am returning them because they turned out to be too tight. Too bad they no longer have the 7.5 in stock because they looks comfortable, warm and cute--a winning combination, even though the shearling is kind of stinky. And forget about hassle-free returns; what they don't tell you is that you have to take the box to a UPS store, which can be kind of inconvenient for those of us who do not have access to a car. USPS will pick up from your place but then the return credit process takes about a month: buyer beware.

WOW!
These boots are sensational. Besides great looking (rugged-girlie in Selva Brown), they fit super. True to size if you don't wear socks. The footbed is not as dense & fuzzy as a new Ugg would be, but I like these. The liner is removable so they can be washed or replaced. I have a feeling the waterproof liner, which is built right into the boot and you wouldn't know it's there, will really do the trick. The high shaft will definitely help keep the legs warm and you can tuck in pants/leggings, which is a great look. Hope they work on ice like they are supposed to.

Ulu's do rule! I had a pair last year and bought another one at seasons end to be sure I was set for this winter. I just bought these in white for my daughter for Christmas. She will love them. You can walk the dog and they are light and comfy.

The most adorable ski bunny boots ever. I haven't been to the mountain in them yet, but I wore them all day shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I received sooo many compliments. Everyone loved them. I can hardly wait to wear them on our winter trip to Whistler. I definitely recommend ordering up 1/2 size.

For once I have to agree with the other reviews. This boot fits true to size and is extremely comfortable. The only bummer pertains to the boot being manufactured in China. Very delighted with the look and feel of these boots.

Totally adorable ski bunny boots.
After looking at literally a hundred different styles, and ordering at least a dozen different pair, I found the perfect pair of après ski boots for my winter trip to Whistler. They're completely girly while being super practical. I ordered the brown with cute embroidery. They fit like a dream, ALTHOUGH I did take others' advice and ordered a 1/2 size larger from the start. This ski bunny can't wait to hit the lodge in these cuties.

HOT LOOKING BOOTS -
I bought the white boots and was a little worried about them getting dirty. I have been in zero degrees weather, not only do these boots keep your feet toasty warm but they don't even get dirty. I received many compliments about these "hot" boots. They are wonderful. Will definitely order another pair for my daughter! Zappos has great customer service, haven't found a better shoe company!

 |  | First purchase from Zappos -
This is the first time I have used the Zappos website and I was both impressed and pleased with the service. Zappos had the largest selection of Puma shoes I have seen in a long time. The shoes arrived very quickly (my shipment was upgraded for free). I will be using Zappos again and would recommend it to anyone. The free return shipping is also a great feature and takes away any stress of buying shoes on the net. |  | ~ Chris H, June 17 2008
