EMU Australia Women's Hip Boot

I love these boots for my wide calves! I have Uggs and Chookas, and both fit too snugly to easily fit jeans inside. But since these boots wrap and tie, I am able to slide jeans in with no problem. It's not just the side opening that's helpful for wearing them this way. Overall, they seem to be a more generous fit through the upper foot, ankle, and calf. The only downside to this is that my size 8 feet are a little small for the size 8 boots I got. But the great color, fun ties, and high quality sheepskin merino and outsole more than make up for it! A great boot at a great price. I am going to buy my sister a pair!

These are better than both pair of Uggs I own. They are half the price I paid for my Uggs. The quality is equal. The sizing is far better with less confusion. Order your regular size. These do NOT run almost two sizes large as Uggs do. This style is absolutely hot with pants or without'em. (On the leg) if you have an average calf, these do not close from about half way up. If you want a long full coverage boot, this is not for you.

The style is cute in theory, but I had some issues with the boots themselves and decided to take them back. The strings are the only thing holding the boot closed, so the top of the boot is loose. As a result, they look a little bit sloppy. The ties are not as sturdy as I was expecting, so not only did they not hold the boot together tightly but I was also afraid that they would have broken eventually. As everyone has said the boots do run big, but I find the width not the length to be too big.
