I am a long time fan of Emu boots as an affordable alternative to Uggs. I had a couple of Emu boots in my regular size (women's 9). Over time they stretched and were too loose to wear without socks - but still super comfy around the house.

This time I got them in one whole size down (8) and they fit perfectly with bare feet. Now, I practically live in them - indoors and outdoors. They keep my feet warm and dry without sweating. The wool looses it's initial fluffiness but molds to the shape of your foot for a customized fit. The sole is supportive and durable. I got the "sand" color and it's a bit darker than the photo. Love these boots.
