I actual really like the Bronte. At first the wool is terribly rough but I laid around in them on the couch, cleaned, etc and after a few hours the next morning they were very soft and the wool had already started to form to my feet. The sole is larger and seems a little unstable the way the back heel has the cap inside it, jus ta little adjusting too. I did order a full size down, I am an 8 and bought a 7 and they fit perfect, your toes may seem squashed at first but they do stretch quickly within 1 wear I think. I ma not wanting to get the Stinger as I may not buy another pair of Uggs, because these are just as good, maybe even better.
