I spent several days researching the right pair of boots. I narrowed it down to UGGs which had very positive reviews but were pricey, and EMUs which seemed to be basically the same product for half the price. Sounds too good to be true? It is.

Here is what I found:
- UGGs are made of sheepskin inside and out, and cost $130-$160 for
the most popular type (called Classic, short or tall), more for the
"fancier" varieties (but I honestly prefer the look of the Classic
model)
- EMUs have TWO types of products: (1) sheepskin inside and out, and
(2) cowhide outside, merino wool inside. The first variety cost the
same as the UGGs, the second one (not as cozy, not as comfi) cost
about half the price

So, I went with the UGGs which appear to be the more original/popular and am VERY VERY happy - these boots really insulate you from the harsh cold completely. Happy feet are worth the $$ for me in thise case. I got the tall variety in grey, and LOVE LOVE LOVE them.

Another misconception that I'd like to correct - NEITHER is 100% waterproof - as in they'll basically keep you warm and dry in a reasonable amount of rain/snow, but if you drench them it will show (common sense). UGGs has real waterproof models which are more like regular snow boots etc. UGGs also has a water-resistant treatment to improve the durability, but friends I spoke to didn't do that and haven't had any water seeping in when she's worn UGGs in the rain.

So basically, the real deal sheepskin product costs the same (and is similar in quality, comfort).

I had such a hard time figuring this out - shame on all the websites for sneakily pretending that the cheaper EMUs are made of the same material, which they are not!

I fell in love with my Uggs the moment I slipped them onto my feet for the very first time. They are wonderfully comfortable & very warm. No, your feet won't sweat in warm weather, I promise. Most comfortable fit shoe of my life. I wear them at least 6 days a week! **Be sure to order a size down from your normal shoe size. I'm normally a 6, but I bought a 5.** Wear these withOUT socks and they feel like heaven. Wearing them with socks is bulky & well, they weren't meant for sock wearing. Cave in & buy them, it'll be the best $139 you've ever spent!!! Stuck on what color to get? Black turns your feet black. The dark tan is hard to match things with. The sand is perfect for everything!! Put them under your pants, or over.. they go perfect with any day's outfit or weather :)

These boots are amazingly comfortable. I bought mine in sand, which seems to go with everything. I normally wear a size 9 or 9.5, but ordered these in 8; they fit perfectly. Treat these with the protective spray BEFORE ever wearing them. I put three coats on my before wearing, and they still look like they are fresh out of the box. Worth the money.

great boots, but as previous poster said, the black will dye your feet! also, they fit big; i bought 7s but i am wondering if i should have bought 6s. i haven't tried the 6s so i'm not sure. it's too bad they don't have half sizes.
also, if your feet are ladies size 8 or smaller, it is cheaper to buy the children's uggs! (only thought of this after i bought mine.)
all in all, great boots. i'm glad i bought them.

Being a female college student, I felt a necessity to own a pair or two of Uggs. Everybody wears them, but after my first winter in Michigan, I don't really understand why. Although they are super warm, they aren't waterproof (sucks for slushy days and wet snow), they don't have good traction (difficult to walk on snow and ice), and being made of sheepshin, they're difficult to clean. The salt put on the roads here damages them. I own the Ugg cleaning/care kit, and even that isn't enough to keep my Uggs looking good.

I wouldn't recommend these for anyone who lives in a snowy place. Invest in some real snowboots.

OMG these are the best boots i have ever bought!! they are so warm and comfortable .. i cant explain in words how fantastic they are!! I only wish that i jumped on the "ugg"ly boot bandwagon last year!! I got the Chocolate, mainly because i know that the sand can stain easier and i personally prefer darker shoes. I am so happy with my purchase i think i might be getting some family members a pair for the holiday! i do agree to order one size smaller, i was hesitant, because i have large feet (10) but the 9 fits like a glove.
you will not regret this purchase!!

For me the advertising on this product is misleading.It leads you to believe that the product is made in Australia when in fact the boots are a product that is made in CHINA which is stated on the box when you get them.The fact that there made in CHINA is not important unless you, as I do consider CHINA made goods of inferior quality.This is a very expensive boot but it's badly constructed.Dollar for dollar you can do much better with a less expensive boot like an EMU or BEAR which I have also purchased.The name is what your paying for, this is not a top end elegant product,it is of NEW YORK street corner knock off quality.This is unfortunate because at one time, years ago this was an excellent boot that was well constructed it had a hand made attention to detail quality to it, now it's just a high priced boot thats selling on past popularity. Thats my opinion and I'm stuck with it.

These are great boots! I spent 3 months trying to decide whether or not to purchase them, and I am sure glad I finally made the investment. I normally wear between a 9 and a 9.5 shoe, but I ordered the 8 because I read they will stretch and mold to your feet. They fit perfectly! 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.

Great shipper too. I had my shoes in a matter of a couple of days!

Enjoy!

I purchased these boots around Christmas. I am uneasy about ordering items not from the official site especially UGGS because of the fake ones being passed around. I feel the UGGS I received from this retailer were fake. The tage was not the same as the official UGGS because I compared them. The boot itself quality was terrible they did not fit and anyone knows UGGS can confirm you have to order a size smaller otherwise your foot will swim in them. The UGGS I ordered which were a size small just like my other pairs were to small and tight. The quality was poor comparible to fake ones from that of Target. The inside of the boots were not thick and soft like authentic UGGs they were rough and thin. My mother took one look and said "no way are they authentic just look at your other pairs." She is absouletly 100% correct. So, the reasons for me believing they are fake are the tag is different, there is no sticker on the box, the outside and inside quality are very poor, they are very small I would need a size 9 instead of an 8 and all my others are size 8 and fit perfectly, and the card UGGs provide to prove authenticity were not in the box and the shiny UGG sticker was not on the box also the UGGs box from the UGGs website is smaller then this retailer's. I'm not sure if the retailer is aware of this but unfortunately I will never purchase from them again. There is no comparing the items. I don't like giving negative reviews because I've always been very satisfied with Amazon.com and their retailer's but now I am going to think twice and just stick with official sites or go directly to the store.

I had to return these boots (at my expense!) because they were irregular; one boot was good size and quality but the other one was damaged and it did not fit right, it was actually very loose . It felt almost like one shoe was regular fit and the other one was wide fit.. don't know why did that happened but you could tell something was wrong with the one boot just by looking at it; so I don't understand why the seller ship it to me....
Åny way I got my money back , but I had to follow up with the return; even called the seller to let them know that the boots had been delivered at their store; and of course the shipping for the return was on me!!!
So I paid bit over $10.00 just to look at some damaged boots!!!
