Customer Reviews UGG Rea

These are super soft and comfortable, but they looked too bulky on my feet. I returned them.

I ordered a bunch of boots from Zappos looking for an everyday fall/winter boot that could be worn in light snow and rain (for really wet weather or deep snow, I'll pull out my giant waterproof boots, but I really don't want to wear those every day.) These are awesome! They are lighter and sleeker than huge snow boots but with much more function (water resistant and great sole) than a classic UGG. They have a plush lining so can be worn with or without socks. Yes, they are more bulky than a regular leather ankle boot, but they are also warmer and water-resistant. I see them as the perfect hybrid between a stylish (but impractical for winter) ankle boot and a super-bulky winter boot. If that's what you are looking for, definitely give these a try! These run smaller than the traditional UGG - I went a half-size up. (8 in regular UGG, 8.5 in these).

To the person who said these were "too bulky" - LOL! Have they ever worn normal Ugg boots before? They are the epitome of bulky, but they're so warm I have bought them every winter to save my toes. When I saw these, they were a dream come true... Still warm and fuzzy but more shapely and polished looking, with a heel even! They are awesome. 10 out of 10! :) FYI - I wear an 8 in the classic boot style, and the 8.5 fit me perfectly. So size up just a half size. My only tiny gripe is that I have a little bit of a hard time getting them on, just because I have extremely high arches. Hardly matters, though, because overall I love these sooooo much!

The shoe is completely sagging after 2 days of wear. Looks like it has been worn for 2 seasons!! Super disappointed. It is not nearly as insulated as classic Uggs, about 50% warmth. The style is unflattering (super wide near the ankles), and it started creasing massively near there. With skinny jeans the water gets in and soaks your socks. I ended up using a bees-wax polish to "convert" to the nubuck into a smooth leather given the shoes became worthless in 2 outings anyway. After Obernaufs are now just as saggy and ugly as before only with a little more shine but 10x more practicality. Wish I returned them out of the box, but I felt that for $100 the warmth I get is worth it. At the time they seemed warm enough for winter, and not as ugly as traditional Uggs, therefore can be worn to the office. After wearing them for a few days, I am embarrassed to wear them to work, but I will have them as shopping/biking shoes or something. One last thing, zero arch support at first, which made one of my soles hurt, but eventually the shearling molded to my feet enough to provide comfort. Reference: Classic Ugg 8, these 9. Will not buy again.
