Clear upper showcases what’s on the inside! As you can see from the receipt, these were only worn 1 winter (and my daughter has a lot of shoes, so these held up great!). The rubber is water tight and the photos show the condition accurately. Note: In one photo, you will see me pointing to small indentation in the fur (only!). Once the shoe is on the foot, you don’t see it at all. Also, it’s not very obvious regardless. :) I paid $100 last year at Nordstrom and now these sell new $125.
