Customer Reviews
emu vs ugg
Probably like many people, I was torn between whether to purchase a pair of UGG boots or EMU boots. In the end, I went for the EMU boots - and couldn't be happier! The Bronte High boots which I went for are much cheaper than UGG boots and have a much thicker hardwearing sole. OK granted that the EMU Bronte boots do not contain real sheepwool lining, only the outer, but they still feel and look gorgeous! The wool is actually Merino wool which is similar to sheep wool. The only criticism I have are that they are narrower than I expected around the calf but I think they will give. Amazon are doing a really good deal on these boots at the moment - I had them in chocolate which are gorgeous! EMU ticks all the boxes in my opinion and I had to write this review to help others in my position who cannot make up their minds - I wasn't dissapointed.

Buy a size smaller!
I bought a similar pair of these last year and ended up giving them away to a friend who had slightly bigger feet! I'm normally a standard 5, but these boots always come up a size bigger. This time round I bought a size 4 and they fit perfectly.

One criticism of them is that if you have slightly larger calves they can be a little tight, I'm a size 12-14 and found them a little restricting on my legs - but maybe that's just me.

These are much nicer than the horribly expensive Ugg boots, which have thinner soles that wear away much quicker and they have a lovely faux fur lining to keep your toes toasty.

Fabulicous!!!!!!!!!!!
When i first saw these boots a few years ago i thought they were hideous but over the years they've grown on me so i thought i'd give them a try and thank god i did!
I can honestly say they are the most comfortable shoes EVER! Your feet feel totally cozy and supported inside its like being outside in your slippers but even more comfortable.
Like most reviews suggest buy a size smaller then your usually size, they may seem a tad bit close but after 2 wears they will be perfect. :-)
I tried on some ugg boots and they are not as comfortable as the emu boots, the emu's are much more spongey and supporting. The UGGs felt flat inside, i'm so glad i went with the emu's.
However the emu's are more narrow around the legs then UGGs are but i don't mind that at all. I've found myself trying to make excuses in my mind of why i need to get the boots in all shades (very tempting) but i suppose thats plain greedy.
Generally folks, great boots give them a try.
