I bought these boots and the Emu Stinger Lo boots as well. The difference in the quality is amazing. The bronte boot has many flaws: the sizing is off by a whole size (I got 6 instead of my usual 7), the outer suede is not as soft and flexible, the inner lining comes out in chunks, and the inner lining is hard and itchy. The stinger lo boots are well worth the extra money: they fit true to size, the outer sheepskin is soft and flexible, the inner lining is thick, soft and as comfortable as a slipper, and they fit true to size. Don't waste the money on the lower end...spend the extra $30 and get the stinger lo by emu!
