I purchase these boots for my 9 year old granddaughter. She happened to be out of school for a day with a bad cold and spent the day with me. I gave her the boots that day and she wore them with her pajamas ALL day! She asked me.....very quietly ..... If they were real Uggs and I said I would ONLY buy her real Uggs....NOT imitation! Her face was priceless and something I will never forget. Thank you Uggs!
