I have a pair of Ugg's which I love but am thinking of getting a pair of Emu boots, does anyone have any? How do they compare to Ugg's? They seem to be a fair bit cheaper but I don't want to buy them and wish I'd saved up a bit longer for Ugg's. Thanks

i've got 3 pairs of EMUs, its early days in my ownership, but they are very nice, i can't compare them to Uggs as i have never owned or worn them

but as they are a third of the price, its worth trying them out

i got 2 pairs of mine from here

http://www.uggbootshop.co.uk/

you might have to go down a size especially if your a half size

Thanks Rich, I think I'm going to try to find a shop that sells them so I can try them on, I'm very tempted to get some but am just worried they won't last as long as my Ugg's.

but as they are at least half the price of Uggs, you can buy 2 pairs, different colours, and wear them alternately

i can't see them not lasting the same sort of time that Uggs last, as long as they are looked after

i think you will be hard pushed to find a shop selling EMU boots, but you never know

from my experience, the Bronte lows are a bit big, and go bigger with use, so go down a size

some online sites ask you to measure your bare foot then you can compare it with their sizing chart and pick the right size

I got some in TK Maxx once. I like them but I've never had Uggs to compare them to.

My OH bought a pair from John Lewis this time last year.

They've been well worn and not showing their age.

Thanks everyone, I have been doing some research online and they sell them in Jones shoe shop so I'm going to go and try some on and hopefully buy them this week!

Funnily enough... QVC have a special on some stinger hi boots I think? I just went to look, and did some research, and apparently uggbootshop (as mentioned above) is a fake. But its just what I read from google... Anyway, I've ended up buying some emu boots from qvc... hi ones in black, £118 but you can pay in two installments... Oh and they have a 30 day guarantee, so even if you have worn them for a month you can still send them back!!
Cant wait for them to get here now!

thats not good news

Well it might not be true... I looked on a website which sold them, which gave a long list of fake sites. That one was on the list, but the original website itself might have been selling fakes and just trying to make people think they were selling originals by calling any others fake!
To be honest though... I decided I wouldnt want to take the chance of getting fake ones and being disappointed, so I went for the tsv on QVC, so I know they are real and I can pay in two installments!

Im a guy who wears EMU Ugg boots (the tall and short stingers in chestnut) and got them from uggbootshop. They are not Ugg Uggs, but very similar and comfy.

yep, thats where i got my EMUs from

after you posted up about them being fake, i did check, and i must have found the same list as you, if they are fakes they are very good ones, i was watching QVC earlier, and they look the same as the 3 pairs i have

the website, uggbootshop, has a proper UK return address etc and doesn't really look odd in any way

I don't know about the authenticity of the emu boots, but I do know that this site does not sell genuine uggs.

If they were a LOT cheaper, I'd probably have gone for them, but the ones I was looking at were only about 20 quid cheaper than the ones on QVC, and I'd rather pay the extra 20 quid for authenticity!

because they are EMU uggs, not UGGs

I've got my Emu boots! I ordered them online and they came yesterday, they are the tall tan stinger ones and they are lovely and really warm. I would definitely recommend them

glad you like them

Mine still havnt come Gutted!

I've just ordered my 3rd pair of Emu boots, the classic tall in tan.

Are there any other guy Emu wearers here except me and Rich?

I have Emus and they are very cosy and comfy. I have never had Uggs but I have read a lot of reviews saying that Emus hold their shape better than Uggs. I love mine.

Roger did. Although I'm pretty sure you already know that..
