EMU Australia Women's Hip Boot

Comment: I like the boots they are very warm and nice, good quality and i love the style

Comment: I'm glad to find tall, slide-on, ugg style boots for $30. Can't beat the price, so that was my motivation for choosing this style (ribbon wrap) over the more dependable styles.

Pros - Great price. Versatile in terms of how tight or loose, how warm or ventilated it is. It is great for California because as the day heats up you can loosen the boot to allow your feet to ventilate, and then as the day cools off you simply tighten them up.

Comfortable sole, warm, very cute with short skirts.

Cons - Almost too versatile. The ribbons slip and slide all the time, so you have to find a system that works for you. A bow-tie does not hold - a knot is definitely needed. I think a few well placed stitches will help with that. Plus I intend to add a little loop at the top of the boot so that when you want the boot tight you can secure the ribbon to the loop.

The fir on the inside is synthetic and not perfect for my purposes. One of the reasons I bought tall boots is to protect my bug-bit legs from more bites, etc. Actual sheepskin is soft and gentle on bites, synthetic is slightly itchy - not to regular skin, but to bug-bites. No worries, band-aids work, but I thought it would be good to let potential buyers know.

Note: The color of the boot in the picture looks like a 'sand' color, but is in fact more of a 'dark tan' color.

Last note - I wear a 6.5 US. I ordered the size 5 based on the recommendations of other reviewers, and I am glad I did. The reason for the size confusion seems to be a slight misunderstanding about US Men's to Women's shoe size conversion. The box said US women's 5 - which is wrong. But it also says men's 4 - which I feel is accurate, because a men's 4 is about a women's 6-6.5. Just thought I would help clear up the confusion.

Over-all, I'm glad I made this purchase, but if I had another $50 to have spent on these boots, I would have chosen another boot because of the above mentioned reasons.

Comment: I love these boots! I have always been a very big fan of Uggs...but I think these boots are even better!

Comment: Love these EMU's!! I never bought UGG's thinking they were too sloppy and manly. May as well wear a pair sweatpants with them and call it a day. My husband has been insisting I get a pair, tho. SO when I found these, that have a pretty little ribbon and bow along the side and in the Sand color....I was sold! "OK, I'll try them." Boy am I glad I did! These are super cute and feminine! YAY!! :D Not to mention super soft and cushy inside. Will be really warm in the winter.

Comment: very stylish, comfortable, and great for anyone with wider calves...the only problem i had with them was keeping them tied..because of the way the ribbons were attached, its very hard to tie them properly and get them the stay up.
