I am passionate about my emus. I've never had so warm (not sweaty!) Feet. In addition, the shoe is pretty slippery. Both characteristics that are absolutely beneficial in this winter. However, I would have liked an indication that the shoe absolutely does not tolerate wet conditions. After wearing the slush ugly black spots had formed on the cap. Trying to wash away this carefully, made things worse. Only a cleaning foam for all leathers could put the boots back into a daylight viewable state. Just FYI - the boots had previously been impregnated thoroughly. If they are left in bad weather at home, you have determined long enjoyment of them. I would recommend it highly - in my opinion they are worth every penny of its not just low price!
