    I love the Cozis after seeing the Cupids and Nomads up close, the Cozis are by far my favourite. I have a pair of caramel cable Cozis. I'm thinking of getting a black pair of Cozis too. I'd like the back ones more if they also had the white trim like the caramel and the sand ones do but they are still nice.

    I've got nomads and Jezebels, and the Jezebel's are my favourite. I'm not a fan of the Cozi's because I think they look a bit cheap and thought they might get grubby looking but each to their own :)

    My LFAs didn't wear at all well in the end - they have 3 entirely seperate holes in the sheepskin. Whether it was because of being seconds I don't know, but I wouldn't buy again.

    Mine, which I wore in the snow, rain, whatever weather are still going strong. Thing is, I now really want a different pair (not LFAs) but am stuck with two pairs of boots in good condition, I can't justify a new pair of boots yet I still want them! (Somehow don't think this will prevent me going without food in order to save for and buy them! anyway-could do with a diet!)

    The problems with the boots aren't necessarily due to them being bargain basement ones. My girlfriend recently bought some LFA Cupids at full price (£150 ish) from a local shop (who have turned out to be absolutely awful in terms of customer service).
    After the first time she wore the boots, the stitching started to come undone at the side where they open. We naturally took them straight back, the shop refused to give us a refund, all the would do is send them back to LFA and make us wait to get some more. Eventually more arrived, but despite being the same size one of them was far too small and extremely uncomfortable.

    The shop would still not give us a refund, even though we had paid £150 and had only a pair of boots in the wrong size to show for it. They sent them back to LFA and now a refund is allegedly in progress, but I'll not believe it until I see my money back.

    Whilst we were in the shop last time, a woman came in with a pair of almost new LFAs, one of which had ripped completely up the side when she put it on! (presumably she won't get a refund either!)

    I know I certainly won't be buying LFA again, absolutely shocking quality. They're just another company jumping on the Ugg bandwagon, selling primark quality boots at UGG Australia prices.


    I'm really surprised to hear this - especially the 'Primark quality' statement.

    By all means, you should be upset if yours were faulty (or, perhaps, seconds, or thirds, or even fakes[?], being sold as firsts?), but to accuse LFAs, in general, of being of Primark quality simply isn't accurate; unless their quality has dropped, dramatically, in the last couple of years?

    I have four pairs of LFAs (Tibetans and three pairs of Nomads) and am looking to buy my fourth and they are all lovely quality; thick and plush and (virtually) fault-free.

    The first ones I bought (full price) do have a small, light mark on the toe, but as they had all sold-out, at the time (due to Sienna Miller, I believe), I decided to live with it; especially as they are made from a natural product, so I don't feel one should be too precious about the odd variation in colour, or little blemish.

    Other than that, the only slight issues I've had are with some of the Nomads' eyelets not being applied quite straight (so, there is a slight gap around one side of some of them) and I did exchange one pair, that were particularly badly affected, but on none of them has the sheepskin ever split, or developed a hole, or anything.

    I love my LFAs and find the styles far more interesting and attractive than Ugg Australia's, so I'll continue to buy them. :)

    BTW, if you buy something and it it is not 'fit for purpose', I believe the shop is not entitled to force you to accept an exchange - you are, I believe, automatically entitled to a full refund.
