EMU Australia Women's Button Hip Boot

This is my second pair of Emu boots. I could justify buying two pair because the price is so good! I was afraid these might be too clunky looking, but they aren't at all bulky. They are very warm and comfortable, and I can easily wear them all day. Also very warm. I would agree with all the reviewers that say to order these boots a size smaller. I wear a 9 and ordered an 8. At first they seemed a little tight, but they did stretch after wearing them in the house for one night, and they fit just fine now. I'm really glad I did not order them in a nine. I also bought the pair that tie on the side, and I really like those too! Great boots at a great price.

I read the reviews about how big figured since I am a solid size 7 that ordering a size smaller would make them too small. Well, I should have ordered the 6, as these are easily an entire size too big if not more. I hate to bother with sending things back though, so I kept them. They are comfortable enough but I'm wondering how long they will hold up. The sole is already starting to wear down and I wear them mostly around the house.

The reason they are so big is because they come in men's sizes. American men's and women's shoe sizes are not the same. UMU boots come from Australia, and in Australia men's and women's sizes are the same. So you would compare Austalia's shoe size to American men's shoe size. So whatever your shoe size is in womens, you would come down two shoe sizes, and that will be your shoe size in a guy's shoe. So I am a size 9 in a women's shoe and a 7 in a guy's shoe. I hope this helps.
