I have been buying my daughter emu boots since she was a 2 year old. I love the ease of slipping on boots without socks. When she got older they were still her favorite boots. I normally get the suede boots which she’s had gray with glow in the dark hearts and stars, solid gray, pink, purple. I skipped a year getting her a pair and she commented one day “why don’t I have some cozy boots?!” So I decided to get some that are slightly nicer looking. The foot part is waterproof leather and the top is sparkly black suede. Since opening them for Christmas 2021 she has been wearing them out in the snow (without socks) and has never gotten her feet wet. We love these boots.
