I love EMUs, especially the Bronte and Stinger. When I saw the Kimba online, I immediately ordered two pair in two different colors. When they arrived, I couldn't believe that EMU had made such a poorly constructed, incredibly uncomfortable shoe. They were very difficult to pull on, as the lining in the leg shaft was so thick. That lining was also very scratchy, almost like steel wool. When I did manage to get them on, I discovered that there is NO padding or lining whatsoever in the actual shoe/foot (I could practically feel the floor beneath me), which makes for a very strange construction. It's like wearing thin, hard shoes with thick, scratchy legwarmers. EMU sizing is strange -- I'm normally a US 6.5, and an EMU size 5 is slightly loose on me. I exchanged them for a larger size, just in case, but they were just as difficult to get on and just as uncomfortable when they were on my feet. The legs were tight and scratchy, and the feet loose and thin, and very hard. Overall a disaster. Keeping them wasn't even an option; I returned them immediately.
