So, This is my first pair of Emu, 2 years ago I bought a pair of Bearpaws "Peron" - what I loved about them was that they were super light and had a flexible sole. Unfortunately the heel wore out in 1 season (5 months or so) so I had to give them to the shoemaker to add a heel which ruined the whole shoe balance and made them heavy.
Well, these boots have a size issue, I am a 7, I ordered a 7 because nobody from Amazon was able to tell me what size to order, they are a little big but I don't think it's because of the size, when I walk I can feel the heel slipping off a little, I believe that is also because the sole is so stiff and doesn't bend with the foot when you walk, so I am not sure if a smaller size would have solved the issue. I believe these boots are better for people with a wider foot and calf - I have very thin feet and they slip right out even though the toes reach the the of the shoe.
I ordered the chestnut color, and the fur inside is the same color.
I like the reinforced heel and I wonder if these wear out as fast as the Bearpaws.
I also liked the idea that these have a better (removable) insole and have arch support.
Overall they are very well made and the sheepskin is soft.
