Just buy them already! Australia Luxe Collective are simply the best shearling boots on the market. The shearling's loft and density, quality of all the materials, expert construction of the shoe, and footbed comfort are in a league of their own. I bought two pairs of boots this season, and I absolutely love them as much as the 3 other pairs I’ve owned for years. I’m a Women’s US 8.5 and I size down to an 8 as I like a close fit in shearling boots. My advice - don’t waste your money on the Uther mass produced brand. This year I got sucked in by a Black Friday sale, and am disappointed with Uther's shearling that's thin and sheds, dye transfer to my socks, and soles that are rock hard. Don't hesitate to invest in a pair of Australia Luxe Collective. They are truly worth it.
