These are very attractive and warm UGG boots that also have an inside zipper which helps to putting them on one's foot. They are real leather with a suede shaft. I did not give them 5 stars for two reasons. These boots run quite narrow and although my husband does not have a wide foot, he does have a high instep, we needed to go up two sizes for him to be able to put them on with ease. Also, I wish that the tread on the soles was deeper. Looking online and at Nordstom etc it was almost impossible to find a snow boot with a zipper. I do not know if one size larger would have been enough as that size was sold out but my husband could not even get his foot into the boot that should have been his size. My son, who wears the same shoe length as my husband, was able to use the first pair of boots but his foot may be a little narrower. Unless you are ordering for someone with a narrow foot order up a size at least.
