Wow amazing! I just ordered these shoes late yesterday and got them today before 1 p.m. I am impressed. The shoes are exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't sure what size to order. I am normally a 7-7.5 depending on the cut of the shoe and have wide feet. Most of the reviews suggested ordering down a size, but I went with my intuition and ordered a 7 instead of a 6. I'm glad that I did. The shoe fits my foot perfectly with no socks. The color grey is not too light or too dark. I like the idea that the sheepskin is waterproof unlike the Uggs. They look great rolled up or down. You can't go wrong with these boots. Thank you Zappos for great delivery.

The sizing chart Zappos provided leaves a lot to be desired. It says the boots use European sizing, so based on the chart I ordered a 6. It was just a tad too small. My toes were squished up right against the toe of the boot. Forget about wearing socks! I loved the feeling of the wool against my toes so I returned the boots and got a size 7, which is my normal US size. The 7s are just a little big, but I like my slipper boots roomy. In fact, now that I'm in my 3rd trimester, these are truly the most comfortable shoes I own! The other reason I give them a 4 overall, is because I really did not want to buy a product made in China. I did a ton of research and I was led to believe, by EMU's website, that their products are the Genuine Australian sheepskin boot. Imagine my surprise when the boots arrived at my house, and the box said "Made in China" on it! I guess no one actually makes their sheepskin boots in Australia any more; or if they do, you practically have to fly to the Australian outback to track them down on the actual sheep ranch. I ended up keeping these because they feel so great and they are obviously a high quality product worth every cent; I just wish EMU wasn't quite so cagey about the country of manufacture on their website.

Well made boots! Very comfortable and stylish! I an an size 5.5 and I got a size 5 as it does not come in half sizes. Great for winter and it is so light in weight compared with other brands like Ugg.

I love, love, love these boots! Very cute, warm and comfortable. I usually wear a size 8.5, and I ordered these in a size 8, and they fit perfectly, even with socks. Since they only come in whole sizes, they would definitely had been too big.

Wanted to love these but... The style is really cute and the sheepskin is plush (and I do love that you can replace the insoles. Wish the "other brand" manufacturer would take the hint re the classics), but I had too much heel slippage, possibly because the instep is less snug-fitting than my "other brand" boots. Also, the soles felt very stiff, which made these boots really clunky to walk in. I wear an 8 to 8-1/2 so I ordered an 8 and they felt just a teeny bit too snug at the toes; however, a 9 would have been entirely too large, especially with the heel slippage issue. As always, Zappos is wonderful...fastest shipping around and easy returns.

I really wanted to like these. I have Uggs in the classic short and they are great but slippery in Colorado snow. These Emus seem to have a better sole for ice and snow. The problem is that because I would wear them without socks I sized down like I normally would with Uggs (I wear a 9 shoe so I ordered an 8) and they fit great except for my heels which slipped when I'd walk. I don't have this problem with Uggs. I then ordered a 7 to see if that would help and while they are tighter, my heels still slip. I love the mushroom color, but I think I'm going to have to return them.

I absolutely love these boots. They are very comfortable, slightly generously sized, but not sloppy. They are water resistant, so if you stop in slush, you survive. They look great and feel even better. I am totally happy with them!

These are awesome, comfortable, and unbelievably warm! I could not decide between these and the other brand and when I saw these, I felt instantaneously in love! I have received buckets of compliments - the versatility of the boot to roll low or have them high. Now I am looking for my next pair!

I love these EMU boots! They have better arch support than I was expecting and they are just so cute with the leather details in the back! I received them in two days and was so excited! I wear a 9 1/2 and purchased a 9 and they fit perfectly! Thanks Zappos!

These boots are wonderful! Very warm and comfortable. Fit very well to size and due to the warmth, I often wear them barefooted!
