I really love my EMU Stinger Hi Premium boots so when these were in the gold box for $40 how could I resist.  They are nice but not as nice as the Stingers, which are a "premium" boot.  The main difference is in the linning, where it is obvious that these are a lower level EMU (given their regular price is much lower than the stingers). The lining is just not as nice.  The outside is just the same though.  And they are a bit narrower around the calf (harder to tuck your jeans into). I find these run true to size (just like I found the Stingers) and am glad I bought my regular size (but I am a full size so maybe half sizes should go down?)  Anyway, they are cute and comfy and I will definitely wear them.  Worth $40 for sure.  If you are getting your first pair - go with the Stinger over these though and you won't be disappointed.

And a big shout out to Amazon - ordered them Thursday morning - got them Friday morning. Love Amazon!!!!
