These Emu boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I did downsize 1/2 size when ordering and I am glad I did. They fit me perfectly, and I wear them without socks, as recommended by the manufacturer. I can wear them ALL day without any discomfort at all. I have had people stop me on the street to ask where I got them and they are shocked when I tell them how inexpensive they were! I wish I had them in every color!
