I had high hopes for these boots since Emu has become my favorite brand. I own two Emu Bronte Lo, one in a size 9 which are too big but comfy to wear around the house; the other is a size 8 and perfect for running around town and going to evening classes. I normally wear a size 9-9.5 but since the Emu Bronte Lo size 8 fit perfectly, I ordered these Stingers in an 8 as well.

When they arrived they looked and felt great, except they were just too small length-wise to be able to wear, even if they would stretch out a bit. The removable in-sole was too narrow for my foot and its edges were rubbing on the sides of my feet. I was disappointed I couldn't exchange them for a size 9 at the same great price, but would have to pay the full price. I decided to return them and wait for them to go on sale again.
