The REAL Aussie Uggs!!!, January 21, 2009
This review is from: EMU Australia Women's Stinger Lo Mid-Calf Boot (Apparel)
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.

One Size Larger, February 13, 2009
This review is from: EMU Australia Women's Stinger Lo Mid-Calf Boot (Apparel)
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!

DO NOT RUN BIG, January 4, 2010
This review is from: EMU Australia Women's Stinger Lo Mid-Calf Boot (Apparel)
I purchased the stinger lo and was so excited when they came. They are a great boot. I love the looks and the inside is so comfy, BUT THEY WERE WAAAAAY TOO SMALL. Everything I read said they run big and to order down at least one size. I wear an 8 1/2 so I ordered an 8 and my big toe was smashed up against the end of the boot. They say the boots stretch, but I find it hard to believe they would stretch lengthwise. Maybe other people wear an 8 1/2 because they have wide feet, but I wear them because my feet are truly that long and very narrow. Incidentally I went to the store to try on a 9 but they only had the Bronte, and they do indeed run BIG!!! The 9 fell off my foot and the 8 was even a little big. Could probably get by with a 7 in those. To recap: the Bronte run large, but the Stinger do not. If you have a long foot, order up, so you can avoid paying return shipping like I had to. I do love the boots, so I ordered the size 9. Wish me luck :)
