Purchased these boots in black for a great price during a lightning deal.  2nd pair of Emu's.  They are sturdy and WARM!  I would have given them 5 stars if they had real sheepskin lining - they have the merino wool, which can flatten and eventually wear down over long period of time (if you want the real sheepskin - look to the more pricey stinger style).  One piece of advice is to order size down.  I wear a size 9 and ordered these in 8 and they're perfect (keep in mind that they will stretch over time too).  My first pair I bought my usual size and they are too big even with socks.  While I like the look (and styles) of Uggs, I prefer the EMU's due to a little more support (versus the very flat boot) and price.  They are much more affordable.  I would recommend them.
