These are my favorite pair of UGG boots I've purchased. I bought these in chestnut to slip on when I'm going somewhere quick, but I'm having trouble wearing any of my other boots now! They're very comfortable to walk in and keep your feet so warm! I love the button on the side - it adds flair to the boots and goes with everything. The height of the mini is great because it doesn't look or feel like you're wearing space boots like some of the other UGG styles do. I wear an 8.5 or a 9 and bought these in an 8 - fit is perfect with or without socks.
