No these do not compare to my expensive uggs or the emu but for the price you can not go wrong. Cute boot and although I agree it does no even compare to the emu in the same style I purchased last year I think its still a good value. I wish they would go back to the better sole  though these are very slick and will get someone hurt if not careful. With my wood floors I am even sliding at times. I hope they get better as I wear them some. I was going to purchase another pair of the ugg baileys in the button style in gray but did not want to spend another 200. for a pair right now. I love the fact these unbutton, it makes tucking in long pants so much easier. I just returned a pair of ugg tularusa because they were so narrow in the shaft and a pain to tuck in pants.

I will warn anyone if you have larger calves these might not work for you. There is no give at all in the straps and when I tuck in my pants its even hard to buckle at times and thats with average calves.

All in all I still think for 30.00 you can't go wrong with them

Also went down a size and they will be great last year got my correct size and they stretched out so much they are almost floppy. These are tight but should be perfect after wearing a few times.
