Excellent! September 5, 2010

I tried a knock-off brand last year based on price. The reason for the lesser price was obvious within days. Now I have my Emus and they completely exceeded my expectations! I've worn them to the beach, to the bar, around the house, walking the dog. They still look brand new! I do suggest getting a water/stain proofer and reapplying it every few weeks to maintain the color and texture, as you would with any sueded item. Truly the *best* pair of boots I've owned!
Great for wearing around the house September 5, 2010
Mary Santos (Houston, Texas)
I'm quite fond of these boots. I actually purchased two pair (Sand, Chestnut). Right off the bat, I should tell you that the actual colors of these boots are quite a bit darker than pictured. In person, the Sand looks more like beige and the Chestnut looks more like a slightly orange brown. I think the colors got washed out when they photographed them. The colors are much more appealing in person, in my opinion.
As for construction, these do not compare to Uggs, but then again, they cost about 1/8 the cost of Ugg boots. I am not saying these are junk. If they were junk, I wouldn't have purchased two pair and I wouldn't be giving them for 4 stars, but please do not compare these to Ugg boots. Other than styling, they are definitely not in the same class in terms of construction and materials.
I bought mine for wearing while working on the computer to keep my feet warm, but they are practical enough shoes to go up and down the stairs in. I do not wear my boots outside and I suspect that they would not hold up long if I did, but I bought mine to specifically wear around the house and while on the computer and they work great for that purpose. They keep my feet and lower calves warm and that makes me happy. Plus, they stay clean since I don't wear them outside.
For the price point and product, I am happy with these boots, but I would caution that if a person is looking for an outdoor shoe that will hold up to a lot of activity, over a long period of time, they should consider another boot or just bust out the wallet and splurge for some Uggs.
As for sizing, I am a true size 8.5 and the size 8.0 in these Emus, just fits.
Comfy and cute! August 30, 2010

I got my EMU Austrailia Women's Bronte Lo Boots in Sand a couple days ago and they're awesome! It's summer and I can wear them without sweating. They very comfortable and cute and like UGG's, but way cheaper. They fit true to size. Some reviews said they are bigger, but they fit exactly right on me. I recommend them.
Comfortable alternative to Uggs August 29, 2010

I actual really like the Bronte. At first the wool is terribly rough but I laid around in them on the couch, cleaned, etc and after a few hours the next morning they were very soft and the wool had already started to form to my feet. The sole is larger and seems a little unstable the way the back heel has the cap inside it, jus ta little adjusting too. I did order a full size down, I am an 8 and bought a 7 and they fit perfect, your toes may seem squashed at first but they do stretch quickly within 1 wear I think. I ma not wanting to get the Stinger as I may not buy another pair of Uggs, because these are just as good, maybe even better.
Great for the price, but outsole is not the best quality August 28, 2010
Helene Zampelli (Queens, NY)
I'd like to start off by saying I was quite pleased with this shoe overall; the price was excellent (I got them at an MJM discount store) and I wore them all last winter with no complaints for the most part. As far as the look of the boot, I found it to be very similar to the popular UGG boots, and they were extremelly comfortable. As far as the sizing goes, I disagree with a lot of the other reviewers that say the boots run large. I'm a 9 or 9 1/2 in shoe size, and found that the 9 was too tight, even without socks, and that the ten was just right. The boots do, however, run very wide, so no matter what they will feel a little roomy. The only thing I dislike about the boot is the quality of the outsole (the part of the shoe that comes in direct contact with the ground). I found that these boots as well as other "UGG look-alikes for less" tend to have what appears to be a foam-rubber outsole that literally wears down over time. I must admit that I wore these boots very often over a period of about 5-6 months, but noticed toward the end of that time the heel started to wear down, making them less comfortable to walk in and less attractive. This wearing down was minimal and only happened with the heel though (I know this because the "EMU" logo on the outsole was missing from the heel only), as opposed to other cheaper brands that show significant wear along the back and sides of the boot. I've never owned a pair of UGGs because of the price, but perhaps the outsole of that shoe holds up a little better (you get what you pay for!). But, regardless, these shoes held up very well for the most part and with average wear should be just fine!
