My husband wanted to buy me a pair of UGGs for Christmas last year to replace my old, well worn pair of winter boots. After a lot of research I decided on this pair. I do a fair amount of walking to/from work, so I liked that it had a thicker sole and the height would keep the snow at bay. I've had my UGGs for a year now, and I definitely did not fall under the UGG spell. I first ran into difficulty with fitting because they do not come in half sizes. My feet are not exactly the same size, so I had to go up to the next largest size to accommodate my bigger foot. As a result, the boots feel huge on my feet, and I feel like I'm clunking around in them when I walk. They are usually toasty warm as most people describe, though I've definitely experienced instances of cold toes and feet, particularly when sitting still, driving, etc. My biggest complaint is that they tear up the back of my heel. They did this when I initially got them, and I chalked it up to the breaking-in process. When it didn't go away, I fixed the problem by wearing tall socks with them. Short socks won't solve the problem, only tall socks. Which means I had to buy a slew of new socks to wear with my expensive boots, a ridiculous and unanticipated expense. I'm now starting to wear them again for their 2nd winter, and I'm going through the breaking in process all over again. I find this extremely disappointing. Neither can I believe that a pair of shoes this expensive should cause my feet this much grief, nor should I need to have special socks or keep band-aids on my heels at all times just to make them wearable. I've done some searching, and I'm not the only person to have this problem with this style. Many people believe that the thicker sole is to blame. I'm to the point that I'm so sick of the pain that I'm ready to search for a new pair of boots. It sickens me to essentially throw them away considering how expensive they are, but they are simply not wearable if they continue to rip up the back of my heel and cause me constant pain. Buyer beware.

So sad..I was looking for a Ugg like boot with replaceable arch support when I learned about these. But the removable foot bed proved to noticeable...and not in a good way. on the edges in the footbed area. I happened to have an Ugg replacement insole. That helped...but golly seems silly to put a replacement in a new pricey shoe. Admittedly the replacement version is probably going to be the one that you can get when you are ready to add a fresh insole down the road. I went with the Merrell Encore Snow and its waterproof and all sheep fuzzy & still with replaceable insole.

I was very disappointed with these boots. I wear a size 9 and even in a 10 these were way too tight. I also would not have ordered if I had realized that these boots are now being made in China.

I love these boots. I have a tan pair that I have been wearing for five years and I am still wearing them. I just ordered some insoles and they feel like new again. I ordered a black pair to go with my outfits. They are true to size! The only way they could make these better is to add more arch support but then I have really high arches.

I purchased this pair for my daughter. She absolutely loves them. She is size 10 in classic Uggs and a size 10 in these fit perfectly. The boots are comfort rated to -20°C and made using eVent technology. Basically I am trying to justify spending the money and these are one of the few Ugg styles that I feel is true to brand quality. The soles are well made and grippy. They will do well in these Midwestern winters! Thank you, Zappos, I was one of the lucky ones to grab the last black pair of this style in her size! Oh and she chose these over the Ugg original sundance with more braid detail. These are more versatile.

These are the best Uggs yet. The little bit of structure makes them more comfortable. The stitching on the back makes them look less like bedroom slippers. I pretty much live in these boots.

I am normally a size 8, got the size 7 and they're perfect. So, so, so comfortable and look so good! I got them today, went to the grocery store and was complimented twice. Great sale price too! Yaay! Thank you Zappos; you're awesome!

I can hardly believe that I was a bit undecided as to whether I should keep these boots when I first received them. My son convinced me to keep them, and am I happy I listened to him. The best part of all was that I got them on sale. I am very happy with this purchase.

I decided to purchase these boots not only because the braid embroidery on the back was super cute, but because they seemed more heavy duty than your average classic Ugg, and they totally are. The rubber outsole on this boot is good in slippery and snowy conditions. Very warm and comfortable. I prefer the tall because of the look but they also keep your feet and legs cozy in the cold. I've gotten many compliments when wearing these!

Well let me just stay that the Ultimate Tall Ugg Boots are wonderful. I read all the reviews, they help me out a great deal. I ordered The Ugg Sunburst in chestnut. These boots were nice, but not for me. I am a simple kind of woman. The Sunburst Ugg was too over the top for me. I returned them and that is why I purchased The Ultimate in black and chestnut. I am a size 8, in shoes. But I purchased them in a size 6, they fit perfectly. Zappos has the best customer service and easy exchange policy. They did not charge my credit card for any return except for the difference I owed them. Keep up the good work. I am a loyal customer.

I got these as a replacement to a different Ugg boot, that was no longer made. It's cute, comfortable, and looks very similar to the other one (forget its name)...sole is a little "clunky", but fit is good and it's quite cute.

I'm 5'9 127# 8.5 med. Ordered the 8. Great fit with or w/out sock. A beautiful boot! Chestnut color and detail just lovely. Gets cold in the So Cal hi desert and this is a worthwhile investment. Ordered the cleaning kit and extra insoles as well.

Just received my pair and it fits true to size meaning I was told to order a size down and I did and it fits perfect with a little wiggle room. Love it and can't wait to wear it.

Very comfortable boot, very warm, great for winter. If you want to wear socks or leggings, I'd go a half size larger. Great customer service as always from Zappos!

I was a little skeptical about spending so much money on Uggs, so last year I bought a pair of EMUs since they seemed to be the next best thing compared to Uggs but half the price. Well, let me just say it is worth the money. The wool on the inside of EMUs is kind of rough and almost gauze-y feeling. Inside the Uggs is super soft and fluffy. A lot of imitation Uggs have fake fur on the inside which almost feels as nice, but anyone with half a brain knows your feet will sweat like crazy in those. These feel amazing on your feet, and yet they breathe really well. Obviously don't wear socks with them [it actually feels like you have comfy warm socks on]. I decided to make the investment with this pair because it has a thicker, more durable sole and the footbed lining is replaceable, unlike on the classics. I bought them in black, and, yeah, it does turn your feet a little black [I've only had them about a week so I don't know if it stops after awhile]. The braid detailing up the back is cute, it's not too much and doesn't look cheap or anything. I normally wear about an 8, 8.5 shoe, and I wasn't totally sure whether to order a size down or not for these because the foot is narrower but after some research, I ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly. Be aware that because the part of this boot that goes over your foot is a little narrower and less slipper-looking, it makes the shaft look a little wider, but it's really not that bad. Make sure you order the kit to waterproof, protect and clean your Uggs! I made the mistake of never spraying my old EMUs and they looked real bad after a year. The kit comes with an eraser and brush, and just using that on my old EMUs made them look a lot better, and I didn't even use the cleaner. Definitely worth the money for that too, because who wants to spend so much money on boots to just get ruined in a little rain? There was a bit of a delay in processing my order, so I emailed Zappos and right away they responded to me, and offered to upgrade me to next-day air for free! That was Saturday, so by Monday I had my boots. Great customer service; this was my first time ordering from Zappos but definitely not my last.

I bought these boots about a month ago and was very pleased. Not only are they extremely adorable but they live up to the Ugg brand name and are comfortable on. I want to wear them everywhere! And as usual (one of the reasons I absolutely love zappos.com), they arrived fast!

This is my second pair of Ugg boots and I love them! They are so warm and comfortable! And now my 13 year old daughter wants a pair for herself! I did also buy a pair of the Ugg slippers and was very disappointed with them. They were not comfortable and were cheaply made, so needless to say I had to return them. Overall, Zappos has awesome customer service. They ship everything very quickly. And the free returns are great!

Great boots! I'm been looking for a pair of Uggs for while. It took forever for me to settle on these. None of the other styles worked with my feet, but these are GREAT! They do run a little big, so you might want to get a size smaller.

Great Boot - I wore these boots for 10 hrs the first time walking around Disneyland. They were great! Yes I was tired, but if it were not for these boots, I probably would not have made it. Comfy, warm and with a nice touch with the braid.
