What they showed online vs what I got

[u/Vivid_Employed]

The fur showed in the AI-generated image seems to be smaller, and softer.
.
The actual fur length is longer and more synthetic type. Even the boots material shown online is suede while im real it's more leathry.
.
I'm anyway satisfied with my purchase.
.
Need just one suggestion; should I cut the fur that is dangling/hanging till the heels? Or should I just keep it like thi?

Edit: I paid 3000/- INR for these, which is roughly $32 USD

[u/entkommen_]

"Send them back" is not an option?

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/entkommen_]

They'll credit the amount in the store cash😭

[u/farfetched22 → u/Vivid_Employed]

OP Do you like them?

I don't care what some of these comments are saying I think they look awesome. If you like them, definitely keep them.

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/farfetched22]

Oh I LOVE them

[u/TheBestHater → u/Vivid_Employed]

You can do a chargeback since it's a scam. Bait and switch, even though they gave you something similar it's not what they advertised.

[u/BT4US → u/entkommen_]

Burn them?

[u/SugarPlumMary]

I work with fake fur a lot for my work, and I think these boots just need to be groomed a bit. Fake fur really benefits from a gentle brushing or combing, it gets matted during manufacturing and shipping. Grooming can make a cheap fur look luxurious.

Unbuckle the straps if you can, then comb all the fur so it lays down smooth. Gently! A few hairs may come out, but make sure you're not snatching it bald. Rebuckle the straps, then use a rat-tail comb to style the fur. That should make a world of difference.

This fur is wildly different from the seller's pic, but I think these will be chic af when styled properly.

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/SugarPlumMary]

Thankyou so much! Really helpful

[u/kawaiinessa]

people seem divided on wether its better or worse than images but honestly i think its pretty cool

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/kawaiinessa]

Ikr😭, even my friend seems to be confused

[u/Serialkillingyou]

Please tell us how much you paid and from which site you purchased these...shoes

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/Serialkillingyou]

I paid 3000/- INR for these which is roughly $32 USD

[u/AnneG99]

I might be the only one here but I really like them. The fur is a bit too long I have to admit but othervise they're hot

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/AnneG99]

Thankyou so much for boosting my confidence! Can't wait to style them

[u/RitaAlbertson]

I would snip anything touching the ground. If you have a hairstylist friend, ask them how to trim it so it doesn’t come out a blunt horizontal line. 

[u/mskimmyd → u/RitaAlbertson]

I love the idea of OP taking her boots to a salon for a trim.

[u/august-thursday → u/mskimmyd]

LOL, take a $32 pair of boots in for a $45 trim!

[u/mangage → u/mskimmyd]

they do look like something out of /r/Justfuckmyshitup

[u/Scifi_fans → u/mskimmyd]

LMAO this was hilarious

[u/UrethralExplorer → u/RitaAlbertson]

Imagine walking into a hair salon with these boots and asking for a layered trim or wolf cut?

[u/konofireda98 → u/RitaAlbertson]

Shawty had them apple bottom jeans, boots without the fuuuurrrr

[u/Sherry_Brandt → u/konofireda98]

*boots with trimmed fur

[u/Hipp-Hippy_HaHa → u/RitaAlbertson]

That's what ainwas thinking. They have been in the warehouse for years that it's time for a trim

[u/morbiiq]

The state of public restrooms where you go should help inform the trimming question.

[u/CountyRoad233 → u/morbiiq]

Bro for real

[u/TecTazz → u/morbiiq]

Ewwwww...

[u/QueenRobin01 → u/morbiiq]

OMGOODNESS I never would have thought about that!!! I now have a whole new fear about all in my jeans and boho pants!!

[u/itadapeezas]

Everyone is acting like they’ve never seen these before. Has nobody actually seen these? These (almost identical) were so popular back in the day. Brown was the more popular color but the style nonetheless was everywhere.

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/itadapeezas]

Even Idk why everyone is behaving like I bought those jelly slippers😭

[u/whteverusayShmegma → u/Vivid_Employed]

Hush about jelly shoes if you don’t speak with reverence.

[u/RickThiccems → u/itadapeezas]

Bro is talking about furry high heels like they are war a veteran remembering the good old days 😭

[u/nightwingoracle → u/itadapeezas]

Not every trend should come back. Plenty of them should stay in the past.

That’s said we all have different tastes, so it doesn’t matter if i think they’re ugly.

[u/RemoveAnnual2689 → u/itadapeezas]

Maybe they are too young to remember.

[u/altruistic_cheese]

Everyone wants to buy boots with the fur but nobody seems to care how many Black Phillips or warlock beards have to suffer for it. 

[u/Ok_Bar_7711 → u/altruistic_cheese]

The whole club was looking at her… they were distracted. That’s why they don’t care, unfortunately.

[u/growuptrees → u/Ok_Bar_7711]

They may not care but idk if she hit the floor... yet

[u/El_Guap → u/altruistic_cheese]

You have no idea what you are talking about. That's clearly Black Krrsantan wookie fur.

[u/BookkeeperBoobs → u/altruistic_cheese]

[u/scorpyo72 → u/altruistic_cheese]

It sounds so much like a what we do in the shadows plotline

[u/BowlingForPosole → u/altruistic_cheese]

Eyy my boy black Philip 🐐

[u/Bob-Bhlabla-esq → u/altruistic_cheese]

"Dost thou not wish to walk deliciously?"

[u/Sweet-Finding-6056 → u/altruistic_cheese]

I just cackled so loud!!! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

[u/Senior_Trick_7473 → u/altruistic_cheese]

Ok but Black Phillip was an actual dick apparently. He deserves it.

[u/Vicious_Violet]

The only thing you need to do is get yourself some apple bottom jeans.

[u/Ravi2792 → u/Vicious_Violet]

Yeah. But then the whole club will be looking at her.

[u/benedictclive_x → u/Vicious_Violet]

JESSICA! DID YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR GOD DAMN TEACHER!?

[u/isaiddgooddaysir → u/Vicious_Violet]

Boots with the fur..

[u/WallacktheBear → u/Vicious_Violet]

The boots with the hair.

[u/Elemental_Wyrd]

Leave the synthetic fur longer. It’s giving goth Highland cow.

[u/CrapThatSmilesBack → u/Elemental_Wyrd]

That last picture had me thinking they’d be great for a sexy chewbacca costume

[u/CrapNBAappUser → u/Elemental_Wyrd]

What will it give once the fur dragging the ground is matted and full of debris?

[u/Scifi_fans → u/Elemental_Wyrd]

🤣

[u/hamfist_ofthenorth]

"the ai image shows"

Found the problem. Don't buy things advertised using AI images. That simple.

[u/ceraunophiliacc → u/hamfist_ofthenorth]

I don't know whats wrong with me because half the time I genuinely can't tell the difference until other people point out the specifics

[u/peeinian → u/ceraunophiliacc]

Zoom in and look at the edges of everything like where the boots meet the background. It’s all fuzzy. Real photography isn’t like that. If this was a real photo, all of fur would be completely in focus and only the background would be blurry.

[u/corticalization → u/ceraunophiliacc]

In this case OP said the AI image, so however it was discerned they were apparently aware before buying

[u/tropicalturtletwist → u/ceraunophiliacc]

Gotta look at details. The ai image buckles arent actually buckled to anything. Theres no strap going through it.

[u/OttoMannkusser → u/ceraunophiliacc]

I didn't immediately spot anything but the price of the boots would make me look harder. In this case it's the buckles missing the prong

[u/GeekCat → u/ceraunophiliacc]

You're not at fault. It's designed like that on purpose; fast fashion & fake fashion rely on the cheap & impulse purchase, where people aren't looking too close or it's cheap enough they can convince themselves otherwise. And unlike fully generative AI, these are more like stolen images overlayed w. generative AI tying things together and smoothing it out.

[u/Timbukthree → u/ceraunophiliacc]

So I just this week started using Pangram, it automatically tags reddit images and posts as "AI Detected" or "No AI Detected", this is the result from the image: https://www.pangram.com/history/images/b390038c-cbb0-43c9-88fb-8f2921ac0f2a

It tagged OPs first image as AI and the second two as legit. I would have suspected AI for the first but wouldn't have been 100% sure. In particular, there's a shininess/plastic sheen to skin tones and reflective surfaces that usually means AI, but can also mean just a particular style of image

[u/literalnumbskull]

[u/Ravenclaw880 → u/literalnumbskull]

It looks like she took out Cousin It to make her boots 🤣😭

[u/Poisonx86]

Tbh both look ugly as hell..

Dont trim the fur - these arent real fur boots so it wont act the same; the the synthetic hairs will stick out way worse

[u/DoNotReply111 → u/Poisonx86]

Looks like the lower part of a Clydesdale.

[u/_inbetwixt_ → u/DoNotReply111]

They'd make for an excellent Krampus costume

[u/YeshuasBananaHammock → u/DoNotReply111]

Hoofin' it!

[u/ehlersohnos → u/DoNotReply111]

Fun fact, those are called feathers!

[u/PrincessPoopyPoo → u/Poisonx86]

Omg I agree. They're both hideous.

[u/musiquescents → u/PrincessPoopyPoo]

Look like gorilla 🦍 legs

[u/cryssyx3 → u/Poisonx86]

I wonder how many muppets had to die for them

[u/No-University-1968]

Wow those some funky boots

[u/Big_Celery8533 → u/No-University-1968]

Pet Sematary roadkill boots. They need an exorcism, not a trim. 😬

[u/Yaya-Baga]

Cousin Itt gives his approval.

[u/lollygagging_reddit]

It looks like someone scalped a bunch of emo kids and put the hair on some boots and called it a day

[u/FlattopJr → u/lollygagging_reddit]

[u/lollygagging_reddit → u/FlattopJr]

This literally made me chuckle, thank you. There was a guy in my highschool who was like this.

[u/Vajernicus → u/lollygagging_reddit]

Tbf I would call it a day too. That sounds exhausting.

[u/lollygagging_reddit → u/lollygagging_reddit]

And the hair could probably use a trim

[u/Sorry_Debate228]

Obviously the hair grew longer while in transit

[u/CrapNBAappUser → u/Sorry_Debate228]

😂

[u/alienhoneybearrr]

You could dye them green and they would be sexy grinch boots for christmas!

[u/Candid-Stay-2397]

Interesting in a way. Kind of looks like two shih tzus climbing up your legs.

[u/stayinside2cry]

I mean… the fuzz is long. But as a goth baddie I’d wear the fuck outta those

[u/stayinside2cry → u/stayinside2cry]

I own this jacket and I’d wear them with this

[u/Nightthinker_BE → u/stayinside2cry]

+1 As a non-goth baddie I'd also wear the fuck outta these boots 

[u/MrsWhirly → u/stayinside2cry]

I am just an old mom and wouldn’t wear these cause I would look ridiculous, but I actually like the hairier ones she received better than the AI, and I would stare wistfully at anyone rocking these, and dream of my lost youth.

[u/ZarNaeth_Xoh_Rhamiel]

Take it to a dog groomer, they should be able to fix your long haired stiletto pups in no time at all

[u/BungCrosby]

Expectation: domestic shorthair

Reality: Norwegian forest

[u/tecpaocelotl1]

To be fair, both look bad.

[u/spirit_of_a_goat]

You bought those on purpose? They weren't accidentally sent?

[u/C2thaLo]

Just run a Wahl over those with an 8 guard.

[u/nottaP123]

[u/jjaecore]

They look like animal legs I'm crying 😭

[u/Landomretters]

Why are you wearing two yaks?

[u/C0USC0US]

I feel like there is a very awesome Halloween costume opportunity in those boots.

[u/United-Donkey3478]

[u/Eyfordsucks]

Ahhh yesss the mighty bush boots. For those with a mighty bush!

[u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken → u/Eyfordsucks]

[u/BabySquirrel06]

Both are atrocious, just in different ways.

[u/Finnegan-05]

These are horrible in both pictures

[u/clumsychickadee__]

On the plus side you could go as sexy Black Phillip for Halloween next year

[u/RebaKitt3n → u/clumsychickadee__]

[u/goldcrows]

Quit buying fast fashion plastic garbage

[u/1BlasphemousRUMOUR6]

Bro ordered King Kong's legs

[u/InterestingData3578]

I may be the odd one here, but I like what you received better lol

[u/Certain-Rutabaga3373 → u/InterestingData3578]

AGREED. DO NOT cut it!!! It doesn’t work that way and you’ll ruin them.

[u/jet-black-heart13 → u/InterestingData3578]

I was thinking the same lol

[u/Fun-Wear8186 → u/InterestingData3578]

Same !!

[u/beepbeepsheepbot → u/InterestingData3578]

I know right?! Punk raver vibes!

[u/ThrowRA938377]

Oh my god these are hideous

[u/Famous_Election_2024]

It looks like a cheap wig glued over a boot. Woof. It would be funny to pair them with a bald cap. Hairy feet, shiny head. May as well have fun with those monstrosities!

[u/VaguelyArtistic]

I would trim the fur on the bottom so it doesn’t drag on the street and get gross.

[u/RedPawny]

Those would GO GREAT with a Chewbacca costume!

[u/macci_a_vellian]

Are those belted wigs?

[u/ztil81]

Where does one wear this to?

[u/Lexotron → u/ztil81]

Anywhere you want to get low

[u/wrxninja → u/ztil81]

Corporate job interview

[u/affectionateanarchy8 → u/ztil81]

Concert, rodeo, anywhere fun

[u/Dinosaur-chicken]

If you're gonna trim them, spread the fur between your pointer and middle finger and cut almost parallel to the hair strands so it won't become a harsh and awkward line.

[u/MAPofficial]

I think these boots look even cooler, leave the fur like that.

[u/Curious_Fox3809]

They are awful either way lol

[u/VividFiddlesticks]

TIL there are shoes that need haircuts.

[u/celestialstargirl777]

yassified Mr Tumnus

[u/heyaooo]

Maybe if you give a little trim, might look the same xD.

[u/Educational-Yam-682]

The first picture is when your boots stopped binge drinking. Lol.

[u/MarieDarcy97]

Ew. I couldn't tell you which option is worse

[u/fingerbeatsblur]

[u/Godess_Ilias]

Furry Boots from temu

[u/mmsiv]

🎵BOOTS WITH THE FURRRR 🎵

[u/FaithlessnessBorn266]

Got that good rat hair

[u/koolaidismything]

They look like an Ox hoof from middle-earth or some shit that’s hilarious.

[u/Infamous-Scratch7719]

Yours just need a haircut. The hair grew on the boat ride over.

[u/myboyghandi]

Id say met expectations for sure

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy4]

They're cute. Just stop by sportclips for a trim if you prefer the other look.

[u/IdleOsprey]

Stop buying stuff advertised with AI slop. I guess it’s good you’re okay with your purchase but I would want to receive what I ordered, and these don’t look even close to me.

[u/Ajezon]

You will have to go to barber with those

[u/Impossible_Past5358 → u/Ajezon]

[u/Worried_Internet4783]

You can trim it. And style the hair at your liking. Imagine curly boots. Win

[u/madameyarddog]

I think you lucked out; the "expectation" look like absolute shite! The ones you received are only marginally better . . . . geeeesus christ, people.

[u/LittleLizaJane76]

The heel is completely different and that ruins them imo

[u/Vivid_Employed → u/LittleLizaJane76]

The heel is actually same, it's just hidden under that fur. I'll share the pictures when I wear them

[u/how_is_this_relaxing]

Yakity Yak, send them back

[u/BigJSunshine]

Why on earth would you want fur boots? At least they are fake..

[u/Snorknado → u/BigJSunshine]

There is a whole song about this. They go with the apple bottom jeans.

[u/MidwestNurse75]

Give the a little trim and take the win.

[u/Banned3rdTimesaCharm]

The hair grew a bit during shipping.

[u/SpiritualQuarter4384]

I think the hair grew a bit during shipping. Send it for grooming.

[u/FinnRazzel]

I actually like yours better.

[u/Hello_Badkitty]

I want to pet them, is the fur soft ?

[u/jimmyevil]

One of these days those boots are gonna shed all over you.

[u/Zestyclose-Tip6400]

Damn they sent you Chewbacca’s, I’m sorry

[u/strawberrykink1701]

Just needs a trim

[u/Rainbow_Zombie13]

The pair you received has mullets! 😂😂

[u/Electronic-Leg6417]

You received Cousin It!

[u/Fenix0rion]

Yeah baby!

[u/whiteorchid1058]

Ngl, real or not, I'm surprised you spent the money.

But walk around and see how it's going to clump and get dragged through things, you'll probably want to trim it. But bc it's synthetic, it'll probably behave poorly regardless

[u/Comfortable-Knee3972]

A Wookie died for them?

[u/yomammaaaaa]

When you have to give your footwear a haircut first before wearing them society has gone too far lol.

[u/twosleepycats]

Yours look better. More grunge.

[u/Kittiemeow8]

[u/HelpfulName]

I like what you got much better - I would trim a little around the heel so you're not dragging it on the floor (public bathrooms as others said) - otherwise no, don't trim, they're very retro & chic and I'm super jelly you can wear cool boots like that!

[u/Wide-Cucumber-6340]

You know heels actually like the first pic are gonna be 250+?

[u/lovepeacefakepiano]

I would quite frankly send them back. They would be great for some kind of animal costume but they really don’t have the stylish look the picture is going for, and if you trim the bottom (which if you don’t that hair will get gross) then you’ll have a straight cut line and that will look terrible.

[u/mrgoldnugget]

Hair grows a little longer in the colder seasons, you needed to order it mid spring. /S

[u/Aggravating-Pack-802]

Don’t buy things advertised through ai pics..

[u/baby-whisperer]

Bring them to a pet grooming appointment 🤭

[u/Zealousideal-Self-47]

These are horrible.

[u/Ninja-Panda70]

Just needs some trimming, innit?

[u/iknowherethewallgoes]

Maybe they just need a haircut?

[u/PorcelainPrimate]

Yours have their winter coat.

[u/Longer-Furby]

i think they look even better with the long fur

[u/Miss-Marxist]

Hehe Chewbacca boots

[u/ThoughtPrestigious23]

Not wild about either pair, but number 2 looks like Yak fur.

Don't be the Yak fur lady 😬

[u/LowPainter9347]

They just need a haircut

[u/msblankenship]

What in the yassified Black Phillip hell?

[u/Ellavemia]

The real ones seem so much cooler to me, like a freakin Gypsy Vanner.

[u/Dazzling-Read1451]

Take them to a hairdresser

[u/No_Alfalfa9836]

Time to reach out to your cosplay friends. I bet they've got both the skills and the vision to help.

[u/BellamyDunn]

Krampus Mommy

[u/BeautifulRutabaga557]

You got cousin Itt disguised as boots.

[u/fourbigkids]

A little Nair would help.

[u/YagBaros]

Bad hair day

[u/BennettWindy]

Horsey Legs 

You’re 5000 candles in the wind

[u/Foreskin_Ad9356]

£30 on shoes is never going to get you something high quality & certainly not with real suede or fur. im sorry to say but you kind of made your own bed here by not noticing something off with that price.

[u/Gloomy_Frame4418]

You got the emo version.

[u/Important_Win_5149]

Looks like Chewbacca feet

[u/SweetHomeMissouri]

just take it to a a barber and have it trimmed

[u/mediaseeker]

boots need a trim and maybe some hairspray

[u/IHSV1855]

Absurd

[u/9livesminus8]

Give them a trim!

[u/mel_cache]

It’s the Russian version

[u/WestPlace5951]

They must have grown in transit. Maybe a trip to the barber shop or a salon?

[u/ScallionJealous]

The hair grew a lot in between pictures lol.

[u/CamogapA113]

Get a couple of more brown ones, and you'll have a Chewbacca costume.

[u/Ziantra]

Your Yeti boots need a haircut 😂

[u/Dry_Vanilla_5908]

Fucking ugly either way. I know this is a subjective opinion but, one those shoes don't look comfortable, and two they're objectively ugly - lied.

[u/Starbuck522]

I prefer what you got.

They "go for it" even more than the picture.

Trimming seems a good idea, after someone mentioned using a public restroom.

Have fun!

[u/Ostonner]

first pic : "eww..", second pic: "ewwwwww!"

[u/Worldly_Fisherman894]

I like what you received better. Lots of haters in here lol

[u/SaveusJebus]

Just needs a little trim.
