Sheepskin boots, I just love, love, love them. I can’t help myself. Every Fall I try to kick the habit, and go shopping for other kinds of boots or shoes, but it always ends up a disappointment. There is nothing like the warm comfort of a pair of Uggs.
This time I bought a pair of second hand Emu boots with ribbons. I liked them because they look all romantic. They cost me about 72 USD. Unfortunately this story has no happy ending, because they were wááy too big for me, even though I got my usual size. So let my tale of woe be a warning to you all.
Emu Uggs with Ribbons
When I pulled them out of the box, and put them on I immediately noticed two things:
- They were waaay to big. My feet could take a swim in them
- They had a lovely footbed. Imagine that, in a pair of Uggs!
Unfortunately the footbed couldn’t compensate for the size. Despite what people keep saying: Size dóés matter!’
Emu Uggs with Ribbons compared with Whooga Uggs
Since I can’t afford Uggs From Australia I settled for Whooga Uggs three years ago, and I’ve been very happy with them. I decided to pit my Whooga Uggs against my Emu Uggs, to see who would win. Apart from the fact the Emu Uggs didn’t fit me, the Whooga Uggs won because of their superior interior. Just take a look at the pictures, and you can see the difference immediately:
Another difference is that the Emu Uggs are made from cow hide, even though the interior is wool.
Emu Uggs with ribbons: to sum up
I still love the ribbons, but I’m not so much in love with the overall Emu Uggs model with ribbons anymore. As you can see in the picture, they’re not very elegant. They look quite big and wide.
If you want to try these boots for yourself, order a size down!
