My EMU Stinger Lo boots arrived in a flash today! Here's the deal...I am normally an 8.5 M (US) to a 9 M. I ordered an 8 based on a friends recommendation. My toe is right at the very edge of the boot but I know that a 9 would be way too big. I've heard that they will stretch a bit so maybe this can be corrected after a few days of wearing around the house. The other issue is that my heel slides up and down A LOT in these. Which I find odd since the length is a little short. It's just an odd fitting boot. I tried taking out the insert (very cool option) and putting socks on with them (I know, socks are supposed to be a "no no" but...) - this helped with the sliding issue a bit. On the flip side, they look great and feel great to the touch. The sheepskin is very soft, the suede is also nice and soft. I'm going to have to wear for a few days around the house to make sure they will work for me. If not, I hate to say that I will need to return...I so don't want to do that...I really do like them!

**UPDATE**12.20.12**
After wearing these for a few weeks, I will say they have stretched out just enough for my toe to be comfortable. I have been wearing them without socks, with the insert and my heel still slides A LOT! However, it's not that uncomfortable. I have not had any blistering from the sliding, it's more annoying than anything. They look great, held up nicely in an unexpected rain shower (I haven't had a chance to spray them yet) and are very warm when needed yet on days when the temp is higher (I live in the South), they keep my feet cool and dry. I can't say that I LOVE them but I do like them and I'm happy with my purchase.
