Wow!  I have several pairs of EMU boots so I thought these would be okay for a quick trip to Chicago. I did not expect the quality of EMU's or UGGS but this is ridiculous.  These boots fit on the small side compared to the previously mentioned brands-I wear an 8.5 but always order a size 8. The bottoms/soles does not bend at ALL so it feels as if you're walking on skiis.  Very, very slippery on carpet, hardwood and tile. I didn't even dare try to wear them outside on pavement.  Don't waste your money! These boots are going back!
