I purchased the black pair in store on Black Friday. I was surprised to see them as they are pre-order items on the website. These are definite eye catchers. I wanted something pretty yet practical, so I chose the black. If you are looking for statement boots, the gold and silver are your boots. Another surprise: the silver ones were also available for in-store purchase. The glitter soles are more prominent in the gold and silver boots. I have a wide foot so I wear my normal size in Uggs. I would recommend selecting your normal Ugg size in these boots.
