I was lucky to have ordered during the gold box deal on emu. I had ordered 3 different pair and this was the only one Amazon had not canceled. I'm very happy with these! I ordered my correct size. They are just a little snug in the toes but the padding will compact some and they will stretch. They are treated to be water resistant, not water proof. The tag on them says to retreat each season or more often if you wear them a lot. Very nice boots!
