Our 2 boys (3 1/2 and 22 months ) love these boots(even want to sleep in them:))I was worried about sole being too thick(our kids have only worn preschoolians which are soft sole shoes and trip in regular shoes), but since the very tip is raised they have no problems(they also have excelent arch support)Originally we were going to go with bronte lo boots and tied them on at Stride rite store, but Stinger is a lot better. Wool is much much thicker and softer.Our youngest has high arch so it was a bit hard to put them on for the first time, but now they go on just fine. As far as size goes I think they are right on, our oldest wears 11 in regular shoes and his boots are 11(with some room to grow).Boots stay on very well(our boys had bearpaws last year and they kept coming off all the time).Also kids got some apple juice on them and I cleaned it with just water....30 min later surface was dry and no stains. These boots do let water in so we also got a spray(not emu kind) to waterproof them for snow.Great boots!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought these for my 3 year old who wears an 8.5 to 9. I ordered these in a 10 on the hopes she could wear them next year, but the 10 fits her fine now. Also, you can't tell from the picture, but the soles are curved, which my daughter doesn't seem to mind, but one of the boots has a defect and is curved too much. Due to the weather in our area it took forever to receive the boots, so I didn't want to send them back for fear that the weather would turn warm and she wouldn't get use out of them. I tend to favor Uggs, but can't justify paying twice the price when these are just as nice. I will probably buy another pair next year and hope the defected sole was just a fluke. They were also a little darker than they appeared in the picture (I bought "sand"), but that didn't bother me.

Just a note that these are true sheepskin boots, not like other EMU boots that have suede upper and wool lining. I don't think they are made as well as Uggs, but they are OK for the price. They are pretty wide, and look so, too. I've bought size 4, and my size 2.5 daughter is wearing them just fine. The funny thing is that I (size 7.5) was able to get them on, too (but not walk in them, of course).

Inside the show box was a return slip stating this show was returned by another customer because the customer wasn't happy with the boot..So i got a used item and whats more is that the boot is totally different then what you see on the pics. There is no emu trim on the top of the shoe also the sheepskin quality is really bad, Its yellow unlike the white you see in the pic. Also the show doesn't fit very well, i am a size 5 womens and i ordered a size 4 M US big kid which is equivalent to my size, and i got this same size for the Uggs boots i ordered but these dont fit right...overall i was very disappointed.
