When they first came out I swore I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon so much so that I would wear the EMU and BearPaws or as I would freely admit "Fuggs". I love the leather on them the most, that's what drew me to them. I would suggest buying waterproofing to keep them nice. I LOVE THESE BOOTS!

I started my search for boots after playing in the Wisconsin snow with my daughter and my feet were frozen. MAKE SURE to order the cleaner, I didn't and mine got dirty the first day so it was a little harder to clean because of that. I probably had not played in the snow since I was a kid. I put three coats on my before wearing, and they still look like they are fresh out of the box. Worth the money.
