A comfortable and budget-friendly alternative
My husband bought the Bronte Lo in black for me for Christmas and I've worn them just about every day since. I also have a pair of tall Uggs which I find have less arch support than my EMUs--they're both very comfortable and provide equal warmth but I'd choose the EMUs if I was planning on walking around NYC all day.
There's really no difference in look so if that's what you're after these will save you $60+ over comparable Uggs. But remember these are suede with a wool lining whereas Uggs and the next level up for EMU the Stinger are sheepskin in and out (which is softer). To me the wool lining is soft enough to wear without socks and the suede upper is thicker and will look newer longer than the sheepskin. I like both versions but if you're on a tight budget you will definitely get your money's worth with the Bronte.
EMUs run a little big and wide and they will stretch (plus the wool will compress) within a week so by all means size down. I'm a true 8.5 ordered an 8 and they're roomy enough to fit a thick sock. Do yourself a favor and spray them with a leather/suede protector before wearing them outside to prevent water salt and mud stains.More detail ...
