 Oh so soft! Jul 29, 2010
Decided to risk ordering the largest size manufactured by EMU as well as UGG (as far as I have found) even though I wear size 11. The footbed is wide enough to accommodate but just a wee bit shorter than desired. I knew it would be so. But I have decided to reserve them for indoor wear this winter as "house slippers" At this price, wouldn't you?
 Wife Loves Them May 10, 2010
I bought these for my wife after hearing raves about the quality of Emu boots. Not only did my wife love these boots, but she wore them for most of the North Illinois winter. My wife usually complains of numb toes after walking around outside for longer than a half hour, but she was so cozy in these boots that she opted to go sans socks frequently.
 I had to send the first pair back May 05, 2010
I don't really know how I'll like these boots, the first pair that I recieved had to be sent back, the left boot slumped, plus they fit like they were 2 sizes to big. This pair seems to be better, but time will tell. I must say that amazon has been great, they are really willing to help in every way that they can.

I've done the research! Apr 15, 2010
This review might be a little long, but it may help you in your search for sheepskin boots.
I ordered Bearpaws last year with the lug sole. Great boots, and if you plan on wearing them in the winter, the lug sole is a huge plus. The lining was merino wool, not the pricer shearling, but still very warm. Bearpaws do run true to size, maybe a little smaller than UGG and EMU, plus they are a 1/3 of the cost. I went to Macys to try on the EMU boots and couldnt decide between the Bronte and Stinger version. Saleslady was very helpful, stating the higher priced Stinger had the better shearling lining and better overall construction. Seeing them side by side you could tell the difference.
I ordered a pair of EMU Hi premium Stingers from Amazons partner Warehouse Deals and was very pleased. They are definately bigger in size then my Bearpaws but the added removable insert was a nice suprise. They do have an arch support that I wasnt expecting. One thing I dont like about the EMU and Ugg boots is the cloth braid where the suede meets the sole. I always waterproof my boots but don't like the fabric on the boot. I wear them outside in the winter and dont know how well it will hold up, even with waterproofing. My Bearpaws with the lug sole are bonded to the suede with rubber which makes them a better choice for winter/slush/snow. I did a TON of research on the different linings between UGG/EMU/BEARPAWS. The merino wool which is the cheapest, is still very nice, just a little nappier than the shearling. The shearling that lines the EMU Stingers is definately top of the line. It is one solid peice, and is very soft on bare feet! I normally wear a size 9. The bearpaws fit perfectly in that size, but my size 9 EMU are a little roomier. Wish I had gotten an 8 instead, but the 9 still fits fine. The Stinger has a nice sole, but I think I will order the EMU Outback version that has the lug sole next since I wear them all winter and need the traction. Overall, for cost, the Bearpaws are just as nice as the EMU and UGG boot. The suede upper is a little stiffer than the UGG and EMU, but I dont mind that. EMU's are closer to UGG is style but cost more than BEARPAW. UGG is still the better known brand, but in my opinion, not worth the extra money unless you want the brand name. If you plan on wearing without socks, go for the shearling lining, its super soft! If you normally wear socks, the merino wool is just as warm. As for me, I think I'll be getting another pair of Bearpaws since you can't beat the cost and they do also have the wonderful shearling lining.

After wearing these for a week the "wool" inside was no longer soft and felt hard with no support. The heel also wore out within two months. Also, if one drop of water gets on the boots then it will leave a permanent stain which looks like mud on the chestnut color. If you wear these on a rainy day then they are pretty much done for. Poor quality overall.
