Koolaburra by UGGWomen's Victoria Tall Boot

Reviews are important to me - I scour them to determine if I will buy. I am writing this review because of others that I read that were not accurate. I already have a pair of these boots in the camel color and I love them. They fit me perfectly, are warm, comfortable, cute and authentic. I think I got them at Macy's last year. I wanted another pair in black this year. When I read the reviews, I was discouraged. They talked about bad fit, not authentic (not real Uggs, fake) and a host of other complaints including packaging. I thought maybe because there are so many vendors and how will I know what I get? So I did an experiment. I bought them here and I bought real Uggs at Nordstrom for $100 more. (Remember I already had some from Macy's.)Here are my results:The difference between Koolaburra and real Uggs is noticeable. Koolaburra is not as plush, the "fur" is not as thick and cushiony and the sole is not as thick. However, I knew that going into it, that's why they are $100 cheaper. The pair I received from Amazon were the same quality as Macy's from last year. They were well packaged and just as authentic as the pair I had. In fact they were better packaged than the Uggs I got from Nordstrom and arrived in 2 days vs. 2 weeks. They were good quality and comfortable and exactly the fit I was expecting. (BTW, I wear a 8.5 in most shoes unless they are whole size and then I normally get a 9. In this case I got an 8 like before because they are wide, stretch out and I wear them barefoot.) Further, I purchased a pair of Uggs from Amazon and from Nordstrom, exact same design. They were identical when they arrived. Same authenticity, fit, quality, etc. Again, Amazon's boots were packaged better (I felt they probably came right from Ugg vs. the Dept. Store). Additionally, I bought a separate pair of Uggs from Nordstrom to see the difference in style - because ultimately I was looking for something in particular. My choices narrowed down to the Koolaburra and the thicker traditional Ugg. The traditional won for only one reason - I didn't like the look of the tan sole on the Koolaburra - which is total preference having nothing to do with quality. The traditional Ugg was black all the way, which is what I wanted. What I gave up was the very cute design of the Koolaburra down the sides - love that. What I gained from the traditional Ugg was the look and extra plush feeling - but that choice cost me $100 more.Bottom Line:Make your choice based on your preference of how it looks, feels and your pocketbook (cost). Do not worry that these are not as good or authentic. It's all about what you lose/gain when comparing styles.

These are really comfy and did not take too long to break in. I use these for walking outdoors and typically I would use this type of boot year round as I am up in the mountains and they are not too warm. THESE are really warm - so they will be for the colder months only.If you need warmth, these are the ones for you. They keep your entire foot and lower leg roasty toasty.If you need serious soles for serious terrain and slippery weather conditions, these are NOT the ones. These are not snow and ice boots.I am very glad I got these because they are very well made and the soft warm lining really cannot be underestimated here. Not sure how durable they will turn out to be, but they do seem to be pretty sturdy. And they are also rather cute - so that's a bonus.

I am not a fan of buying shoes/clothing online, I read all the reviews and decided to risk it. I usually wear a size 9.5 and ordered a 10. The collar area is a bit narrow but not hard to put on, the boot is stiff enough to keep its shape. I don’t know how these exactly compare to UGGs, other than pricing but these look amazing, they are very comfortable, they fit perfect! I am very satisfied with my purchase.

So thrilled to get these. $75 for Uggs. Perfect fit. I went up a size based on reviews because I have wide feet. I don't have big calves and they fit me well but if you do you may find them tight. Well made and toasty warm. Not stiff.

Awesome. Just awesome. Pretty and comfy. Stained them the first day but brushed the dry stain off without a trace.

These boots are very cute and comfortable. Very warm inside and true to size. Easy to walk in snow without slippingout of them, they look a little wide, but if you ware heavy socks your toes are not tight in the boot at all. Very Comfy!

Wife loves these boot says they are warm with good traction and are the most comfortable boot she has ever had. Her words “ they are like wearing plush slippers so comfortable “ because of how she rates them I ordered the men’s boots which will be here today, so we will see if my pair match hers for comfort and warmth.

I didn't notice these were Koolaburra when I ordered them. I thought I mightexchange them for regular UGG boots because I was replacing a pair of beloved UGG's. I'm happy to report I love these and they were such a reasonable price. For me, the narrower shaft fits me even better than my previous pair and they look as pictured. So far I am very please and planning to keep them!
