Boys or Girls Brown "UGG" style size 5 boots w/ fur!!

I got these at Babies R Us, and my son has seriously worn them like 3 times, they look like BRAND new, the heel doesn't even have any dirt, no stains at all. They have fur on top, and zip up on the side. I am looking to swap for some toddler boys skater shoes size 7 or 8. Like slip on Vans type or little DC skater shoes (they don't need to be name brand just trying to create a visual)

Let me know :)
