I've been buying these Emu boots for a few years since the soles of my feet started having issues - the soft inner lining is what gets me through a day on my feet.  But Emu sold this to Ukala, but did NOT allow Ukala to use Emu soles. They just leave the inner sole exposed and emboss an "emu" pattern to make it *look* like it would have traction.  But this inner sole material is NOT made for walking and wears significantly in just a couple of months.  I have fallen twice on wet pavement because of the papery/stiff (not rubbery) nature of this material.  The uppers are still pretty good, but the soles are garbage and a safety hazard.  The only way to have these be safe is to buy them then have a shoe repair person glue a real sole to them - otherwise you will fall on the next rainy day.

This is really sad because I've depended on these boots for years now, but I can't any more.

EDIT:  I did find a fix.  If you can get these on sale, then it's worth the price to take it to a shoe repair person *before* you wear them and have a decent, stock rubber outersole put on them ($20 - $30).

The tops are great, the soles are a total safety hazard.  Ukala blew me off when I called them saying, "It's not an all-weather boot."  Which is garbage because I fell on wet concrete in the summer with just sprinklers going.  I guess if they admit it, then they might be up for a lawsuit from someone who fell and broke their elbow or something.
