This is the first pair of Emu boots I've ever purchased. I've read up on the reviews of Emu vs. Ugg and wasn't sure which to buy... I ended up buying these for my daughter and my husband got me Uggs for my birthday. I love them both, but the quality of the Emu boot is 100%!!! These boots are wonderful - everytime my daughter wears them people comment. They are well made, high quality and the lining is unbelievably soft and warm. I wanted to purchase the brown monster ones for my son, but they were sold out in his size. I will definitely be buying Emu boots for both of my children next winter. These boots are a bit pricey for me, but so well worth every penny. Also, much cheaper in comparison to Uggs for toddlers... I made sure to waterproof them right out of the box before my daughter wore them - this has really helped them to still look great after many wears. They seem to run true to size. My dauther wears a 9.5/10 in most shoes and I got her a 10. She said they fit very comfortably (even with socks). If you buy this boot you will not be disappointed!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it :)
