For 29.69 these were a good deal.  Note that the comments about them being EMU Wool -v- EMU Australia are accurate - says it right on the box.  I happened to also get a great deal on the EMU Australia slippers (17.00), and they are true EMU Australia - the difference is obvious when you have them side-by-side with the boots.  The slippers are heavier than the boots - quality difference.  The color is also different, I ordered both in Chocolate.  The slippers are a true chocolate, the boots have a grayish tint to them. That being said, these boots are still a bargain for 29.69 (Gold Box Deal). I might have returned them if I'd paid more than I did.

There is no tread on the bottom of these boots like there is on the Australia's - not an issue for me since I'm not dealing with snow or ice - think twice if you'll be needing that traction.  The wool is much thinner and a lighter color than that of the slippers (the true Australias) - it's pretty much white, where the slippers are a more natural color, and much denser. I wear an 8.5 and bought the 8 - they fit fine.

I'm happy with them for what I paid - probably wouldn't have been so happy if I'd paid 50.00 or more.  I'd say these are for fashion and some warmth, not for sloshing around in serious snow and ice - get the real thing if you need them for that.
