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 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 :)

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 went back and forth between these boots and the Bronte Lo from Emu. I ended up ordering both and could not believe the difference. The Bronte Lo were much lower quality: the wool lining came out in chunks and was itchy, the sizing was off (I had to get a 6 and I usually wear a 7), and the outer suede was not as soft and flexible as the stinger lo. The stinger lo boots are great! I ordered a size 7 which I usually wear. If anything, they are a bit short, but they have already stretched out and are extremely comfortable. Definitely worth the extra money! I wear them everywhere in the winter (I sprayed them with weather protector and it works well with the black color of the boot). The outer sheepskin is so soft and flexible, and the inner lining is so soft, thick and comfortable.So glad I bought them even though they were more than the bronte boot!!

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.

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.

I just bought these boots in grey, and they are AMAZING!!! So soft and plush, I didn't want to take them off to try the other 3 pairs of boots I got today, lol! And these beat the other pairs hands down. They're super cute, look like they'll be good in the snow, and did I mention how comfortable they are??? I adore these. Thanks Amazon for the amazing deal as well! :)

The reviews recommend to order a size smaller... DO NOT DO THAT. My wife ordered size 8M because she is a true size 8M thinking they would be a little roomy, but instead the boots were too small and her big toe was pocking out the front! I had to return them (and pay for shipping) and order a size 9. But the quality of the boots themselves is very nice.

I bought the grey boots and they are so warm! They are soft inside & out. They are made with wool inside, so no need to wear socks. The boots conform to your feet. It's like walking on a soft cloud. Very cute and stylish with jeans. GREAT PRICE FOR A WONDERFULLY MADE PRODUCT.
