To those saying these are a cheap substitute for real Australian uggs, DO YOUR RESEARCH! These are one of the ONLY ugg boots available on the US market that are made with 100% Australian sheepskin, unlike others that claim to be Australian (even including it in their brand name) but are really an American owned company who get their boots made in China and don't use 100% Australian wool products, the only use a small percentage and substitute the rest with inferior blends.
These boots are not meant to be washed and the will be very snug when you first put them on as the wool takes a few days to mold around our foot. If you are planning on wearing these outside you should waterproof them. Ugg boots were originally designed to be like a slipper, you wont get many self-respecting Australians wearing them outside unless they don't care what they look like, the name "Ugg" comes from UGLY!
As an Australian, these are the only ugg boots I would buy outside of Australia and I wouldn't be caught dead in those inferior substitutes that call themselves Australian but cost twice the price.

The sizing info on this boot is very confusing and I was at a loss as to what to do. What I found is that if you are a half size, you should order down in size. I am a 7.5 and ordered a size 8 which was a great IMMEDIATE fit. However, this boot is going to stretch ALOT so eventually my size 8 became too big I have remedied that with thick socks (but they are still a little large). Then recently I ordered a size 7 in this boot and found that they initially fit snug but very soon after, stretch out to accommodate my foot very well.
I own both EMUs and UGGS and it is in my estimation that EMUs are superior to UGGs. I love this boot it is thicker and warmer and the support in the sole is so comfortable. They are also less slippery in snow than UGGs and the pricing is perfect. I will wear these forever!

I wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and usually a 9 in boots. After reading numerous reviews I was very confused if I should order up or down in size. I finally ordered a size 8. When my boots arrived I was very pleased with the appearance and after trying them on I was concerned because my toe was right at the end of the boot and it was an extremely tight fit but loose at my heel. I almost returned them but am so thankful I didnt because after about 2 weeks of wear they fit PERFECTLY!!! A size 9 would have been to big. I wear them with and without socks. Take my advice and order down not up in size.
Honest reviews on EMU Australia Women's Stinger Lo Mid-Calf Boot
These are beautiful boots, thick wool lining and well made, but I had to send them back twice! I'm a size 8 so I ordered a size 8. They were very big and my foot flipped out of the heel easily. So I figured a 7 would do the trick but they were a bit cramped and still my heel slipped out. After further research I found a few stories of people complaining of the same thing....their heels would slip out with each step, it seems they have narrow feet! The problem seems to be in the width of the boot at the ankle. If I stuff the space in front of my ankle with some crushed paper...the heel stays in place! So a boot with a more narrow enclosure around the ankle is what I am now looking for. I just ordered some Minnetonka pugs and some Koolaburra sheepskin boots to see if they fit better, wish me luck.

I had been wanting a pair of Ugg boots for 2 years, but the price was just out of reach for me.
I saw these EMU boots on sale on Amazon, and they had chocolate, which is what I wanted, for a very affordable price.
I took the chance and ordered them...I couldn't be happier! They are exactly like the more expensive Ugg brand. and actually fot me better.
I wear a 9 1/2 narrow in shoes, so I orderd the 9. They fit comfortably, which really surprised me since my foot is narrow!! In Uggs, my foot moves around a bit which made it a bit difficult to walk, but these are a much better fit.
The sheepskin is so soft and the inside has thick shearling to nestle your foot into.
We've not had cold weather yet so I haven't worn them...but I'm sure they will be very warm.
I would definitely recommend EMU boots to anyone who is looking for a shearling/sheepskin boot.
I'll be ordering another pair in the Tall style.
