Great for wider calf buyers!

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!More detail ...

The REAL Aussie Uggs!!!

To those saying these are a cheap substitute for real Australian uggs DO YOUR RESEARCH! These are one of the ONLY ugg boots available on the US market that are made with 100% Australian sheepskin unlike others that claim to be Australian (even including it in their brand name) but are really an American owned company who get their boots made in China and don't use 100% Australian wool products the only use a small percentage and substitute the rest with inferior blends.

These boots are not meant to be washed and the will be very snug when you first put them on as the wool takes a few days to mold around our foot. If you are planning on wearing these outside you should waterproof them. Ugg boots were originally designed to be like a slipper you wont get many self-respecting Australians wearing them outside unless they don't care what they look like the name "Ugg" comes from UGLY!

As an Australian these are the only ugg boots I would buy outside of Australia and I wouldn't be caught dead in those inferior substitutes that call themselves Australian but cost twice the price.More detail ...

looove these boots

I have these boots in the light brown and I absolutely love them!! They are sooo warm for the winter and they are really comfortable I wear them everywhere. I actually just order a pair in black. When you first put them on some of the fur will come out but I think its only excess once you wear them a few times it doesn't shed and the more you wear it the more comfortable it becomes. I would definitely recommend these boots! I take a size 9.5 but I ordered them in a 9 and they fit perfectly so I would recommend going .5 a size smaller.More detail ...

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 ...
