Customer Reviews EMU Australia Stinger Hi

I hope this review helps anyone undecided between EMU's and Ugg's. The colors and sizing are completely accurate and similar to Ugg's. The EMU Stinger has a better outsole and traction, removable/replaceable insole, and seems to be more waterproof than its Ugg equivalent. I think the only difference is the inside wool, which is completely soft and warm - just a different texture than Ugg wool. I love these boots and wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair. EMU's are hard to find in retail stores.

On the first day I wore these, I went out shopping downtown. The snow was starting to melt, and water seeped into through the toe of boot, soaking my feet. Also, what's up with the cheesy fabric binding at the sole and tops of the boot? The top of one is already starting to come unraveled - on Day 1! So I guess they won't be going back outside for awhile. Fortunately, I got these at a discount retailer--had they been full price, I would have sent them back immediately. Next time I go out in the snow, I'll be putting on a pair of Merrells.

As a loyal customer to Uggs, I have to say I really love this boot. It is the same thing. I love this color and Ugg doesn't offer them, so I tried this brand. It goes with everything; warm and true to size.

This is the 2nd pair of these boots that I have owned. They are so much better than similar boots made by competitors. If you have feet problems you will be amazed at how comfortable they are! They have more support and cushioning than the Ugg brand and they are so warm. I wear them with jeans tucked in, with skirts, or even over my PJs to walk the dog. You will love them! The Chestnut color is the best in my opinion! Plus they are water resistant and easy to clean! I usually wear and 8 1/2 and I got a 9 in these and they fit great. I can wear thick wool socks on really cold days and they still feel great!

These boots are amazing! The outside is buttery soft and not at all stiff. The inside is the quality wool that the Emu is known for. They do a run a size too big, as all Emus do, so definitely order a size down! Also, if you have really large calves, these may be too tall for you. My calves are about average, and I'll have a hard time stuffing jeans down into them. I LOVE these boots, and I'm surprised there are not more reviews for them. Also, I ordered them around 6pm last night, and they were here at 1pm today. Why pay the same price for Uggs when EMU offers a slip-resistant sole, weather treated exterior, and superior quality?

I like these boots. They are nice and warm, really warm. I had no idea how uncomfortably cold I had been before I got these. I spend way more time outside in the winter now. I wear a 9 - 9½. Because they stretch at first when you wear them, a 9 in these boots was too big. I ended up getting an 8 which is fine. I read some reviews that said to order up a size so I started with a 10, then got the 9 and finally the 8 was great. They do slide a little on the heel but I got a Dr. Scholl's insert to put under the shoe's arch support insert and that pretty much solved the problem.

My first pair of EMU stinger high (which I'd bought over Christmas) consequently led me to purchase another 7 pairs of EMUs...one for each of my family and 2 extra ones for myself! They are so comfortable and stylish! My kids & husband love them! I was so "bought over" by the quality that I went on to purchase the EMU Paddington and EMU Otway. Never knew I would be so crazy over boots or shoes for that matter until I fell in love with my first pair! Truly a great purchase! You won't regret it! Unlike Uggs that can be seen wearing at almost every corner of the road, EMUs are less to be spotted and I consider that to be more original!

I was bowled over by the service from Zappos. They sent the wrong color of Emu boots. I called them about 5pm on a Monday to tell them. I couldn't believe it when UPS rang my doorbell the next day at 1pm, to deliver the correct color! I love the boots...so warm and comfy. I ordered a half-size down and they fit perfectly.

Beautifully made and very high quality. These are equal to Ugg brand boots. I ordered the earthen red because it was on sale but will be returning them because they are a little redder than I had hoped. I thought they would be a bit more chestnut color but they are actually the color of red clay or kind of terra cotta in color. The boot itself, however, is very nice and I love the non slip soles that the higher end sheepskin boots have.

I love Emu Stingers so much. They are the most comfortable boot/shoe I have ever had on my feet in my life. I love them so much I got a pair to wear under my khakis at work, a pair to wear when I go out and a pair that I designated as house shoes only! Chestnut is my fav color. I wear a true 9 1/2 and the 9 is perfect. Zappos is just as perfect as my boots are and they get my order to me so quick, sometimes less than 24 hours after I order it.

I love my EMUS! This is my third pair (I have different colors) and I would highly recommend anyone who wants their feet to be toasty warm to buy them. I even bought my hubby a pair for Christmas and he loves them too! The Colorado winters are snowy and cold and we wear our EMUs every day. I even bought a pair of EMU slippers so my feet are warm all the time. Zappos is the place to buy; I ordered two pair for my husband as I was not sure of the size and when I sent one back there was no problem! Zappos kept me informed on my return and no questions were asked. Also receipt of my purchases was very fast after order was placed! Thank you Zappos!

I just bought a pair of these at a local deptartment store, and I love them so far. They are a good fit - warm and really nice. The only thing is that I live in an area that gets a lot of snow and I am anxious to see how they fair in this weather. I get a lot of compliments and really do like them.

This is a great boot. It is warm, comfortable, and fits perfectly. It is like a glove on your foot! Highly recommend them, and the color is terrific!

These are the best sheepskin/wool boots I have ever owned...my first pair and what a great choice! I was skeptical about the Ugg shoe, knowing the insole is not removable and they tend to slouch in the ankle (from what I've seen). I read a lot of reviews on Emu brand and decided to go this route. It's perfect with the removable insole. I can re-fluff them after each wear, and feels brand new each time I put them on! If and when the insole ever gets too flat, I can always purchase a new insole rather than a whole new shoe...$15 insoles compared to much more expensive shoes. Emu Stingers are the best out there in my opinion! I own black and chestnut. The black will rub off on your bare feet, mind you, but no big deal. They are super warm so no socks are needed. The wool feels nice against my feet and they never sweat or smell.

Absolutely love theses boots. I could wear them all day. They don't make your feet sweat no matter what the temperature is and they keep your feet so comfy.

I chose a size smaller since they run a bit big. They are very warm and have great color. The only thing I dislike is that they are a bit more bulky than Uggs therefore harder to walk in. But others may like that since it's almost like walking on pillows.

These are very good boots! Super comparable to Ugg Australia, but I believe them to be superior! They actually have arch support and you don't have to get the "ultra" in order to get it, with removable insole to clean/replace as needed. Very nice sheepskin and extremely warm! I think overall, a little bulkier than the Ugg, but well worth the money and I would highly recommend these to anyone who appreciates quality and wants a solid sheepskin boot. The platinum Stinger is even more superior, being made in Australia rather than China (everything is thicker and sturdier!), but a bit more expensive. So depending on your wants or needs, EMU rocks!

This size and color is not fitting right. I order all the others color and the same size, a 6, but I don't know why this pair makes my feet go forward and hurts my toenails so I have to call them about this. Maybe it a defect. Otherwise, I love this shoe.

Too small - I order the Uggs in a 5 and they fit, but the Emu was too short.

These boots were amazing! I live in a city that gets the most snow around and I go around barefoot all winter indoors. These boots let me keep my craziness and just wear them outside barefoot and my feet stayed cozy. I was in love! But, within a couple of months (and I'm a stay at home mom so I wore them like a couple of hours a week at most) they were wearing down funny and literally got a hole in the boot, and they started leaking. I am going to buy Uggs this time around. Maybe I got a defective product, but I've read other reviews and some people also had holes in their boots within a couple of months.

I bought these about three years ago to replace my Bearpaw boots that had worn through in just a few months. They were cheaper than UGGS, and I had read that they were comparable to them but not knock offs. They size was huge both length wise and width wise. My foot floated around in them, and they weren't nearly as comfortable as the UGGS that I had tried on. If you can afford it, find a pair of UGGs on sale instead.

I had to return these within the first 30 days because the boot got a hole in it. I am not sure how it happened, but still, what does that show about the quality? It is a very comfortable boot, though.

I was really excited about getting these but they felt like I was wearing two left feet. They felt bulky and weird not like my Uggs. Unfortunately I had to return them.

Bad quality. Sheepskin flattened out very quickly, and the suede lost structure. Comfortable at first, but lost all support quickly. Also not very pretty. Much prefer Uggs.
