My wife has two pair of Ugg Classic Hi boots that she loves, but they are very expensive. I saw the Emu Paddington and asked if she would be willing to try an Ugg competitor, and she agreed to give it a shot. The Emu arrived and is a top quality sheepskin. The quality may even be better than Ugg.
Now my wife is a size 10 C width. I ordered a size 10 Emu Paddington. The length of the foot bed was right; she could not have taken a size 9. The problem was the extra space in the ankle area of the boot caused her heel to slip up and down noticeably inside the boot as she walked. The ankle area in her Uggs is a bit narrower which tends to hold her foot in place better inside the boot as she walks. Sadly, this bothered her so much, we had to return them. The quality of the Emu Paddington was certainly as good, if not superior, to her Ugg boots, and she loved the chestnut color of the sheepskin. Not being able to see these locally and try them on, makes on line purchasing rather hit and miss.
