Most sizes seem to be in stock at the moment but reviews seem to suggest that you buy a size smaller than your usual.

    Great find OP. I won't be buying any as have too many shoes already but just wanted to say Skechers are wonderously comfortable and you will definitely need to go down a size as their shoes are huge! If you're a half size you can probably just go down a half size- seeing as they're boots you can always pad them out with socks if they're still a bit on the big side.

    I was looking at these the other day, very tempted but got 2 new pairs of sheepskin boots on the way (think I have a real weakness for these type of boots). They look great!

    also missed out on others and so have looked at this with interest. I am a size 6.5 normally in shoes - quite wide feet. I wanted black but they only have size 5 left. Are they likely to fit/stretch or are they not as big as people say?

    ignore above ordered 5's and will return if they don't fit!!! too good an opportunity to miss trying them.

    Just wondering, for those people with more experience than me.....do people end up walking over the sides of more expensive Ugg style boots aswell, like all the kids do on the cheap end ones ?

    Aaaah, just looked at the product specs on these boots...upper is manmade suede, lined with shearling wool. Would have been a bargain if proper sheepskin, I was seriously considering them too.

    I think the 5s will be fine. I am a 6 and own a 5 in Skechers, and they are still a bit on the big side (they have a strap so I just pull it over my foot tightly). It seems they are made with wide feet in mind.

    I imagine being boots they are probably a big bigger again and have the capacity to stretch a little if needed.

    Ordered a pair of the short boots @ 39.99, size 4's in chocolate.

    Not bothered about sheepskin. I'll let other brand chasers pay £130 more for those

    I'm not bothered about brands hence not owning a pair of ridiculously priced Decker's. Most of my boots are Kirkland (Cost Co) sheepskin that I got last winter for £23 per pair inc VAT (they were also available this year for £27 inc VAT), which are indistinguishable from UGG Australia tall classics except they don't have the label :)

    Having owned both synthetic and wool lined/cowhide outer ugg type boots in the past I would never buy another pair knowing the bargains you can get these days on non-decker sheepskin boots, and the difference in comfort you get from genuine sheepskin boots.

    I'm sure these are lovely and comfortable boots, at a good price but for the same or a little more, you can get genuine sheepskin uggs if you hunt around.

    Hardly ever seen any classic short uggs for less than £140. Seen plenty of ugly cardy uggs cheap though....which isn't surprising

    I was just about to go for the grey, but I want proper sheepskin too! What is shearling wool?

    I own one pair of bearpaws which are sheepskin inside (I think!). What are the main differences?
