Emu Bronte Boots For Kids and Teenagers - Are They Even Worth Buying?

Most parents understand that their kids and teenagers want fashionable clothes and footwear once they reach a certain age. The Emu Bronte Boots for kids and teenagers are one of those 'must have fashion items' hitting the shelves this season. Not only are the boots a cheaper option than the now famous Ugg boot, the Emu boot boasts higher quality along with the lower price tag.

So are they worth buying for you kids or teenagers? Will they last for more than 5 minutes (we've all got the broken down ugg replicas) and will they still be fashionable this time next year? With so many questions it's easy to see why some parents are reluctant to by the Emu Bronte Boots.

They might be advertised as being the cheaper version of the Ugg boot, but as parents facing a deepening recession, we need to be careful with money - we know we can pop to most high streets and grab a new pair of shoes or boots for less than a tanner. So when we talk about value and thirty pounds plus, it's still a little daunting.

Although the Emu Boots are made from quality material, some teenagers will still 'break' the structure of the boot to conform with fashion rules within their peer group, whilst others will keep them looking brand new - each case is different. The boots will generally last longer because of their quality materials meaning that they last much longer than the 'cheap' high street versions.

The best thing about the boot is the fact that they are extremely comfortable for young adults and children to wear and their is also the 'twisted ankles' reduction from wearing high heals. Because of this comfort aspect alone, the boots are expected to stay at the top of footwear fashion for some years.

Emu Bronte Boots - A Great Alternative to the Ugg Classic Tall

Just like Uggs, originally Emu Boots where specifically designed to be worn by surfers in Australia. However, in recent months we have seen their popularity increasing with women around the globe. One particular style of these boots which are proving as popular as the Ugg Classic Crochet Tall is the Emu Bronte Boots range.

As well as these boots being available in different lengths you will also find that they are available in three styles. You have the original Emu Bronte boots which come with suede outer, whilst the deluxe versions are available with either a canvas or a black fur outer.

Although the deluxe versions are only available in black for the fur and natural canvas for the others. When it comes to the original boot design you will find that you have a number of different colors to select from.

With the hi and lo versions of this particular Emu boot you have the choice of either sand, chestnut, black or chocolate. Whereas with the mini Emu Bronte boot as well as the standard colors you can it you want to be a little more daring and choose the orange or orchid pink ones instead.

It doesn't matter which of the colors or styles of Emu Bronte boots you go for each pair contains 100% merino wool. The sheep from which the wool is used is a cross breed of the Merino and Border Lester. It is this which provides the wool with a much denser finish. It not only means that the boots stand up better when not worn but it makes them far more comfortable to wear.

You will also find that unlike the wool now being used in other types of sheepskin boots this type actually removes around 70% of all the moisture produced by your feet. Often with the more inferior types of sheepskin boots if you don't wear them with socks then your feet can become very smelly.

Not just the Emu Bronte boots but the other boots produced by Emu help to remove a lot of moisture but they are capable of absorbing some of it. So your feet will remain relatively dry even when you are not wearing socks. This in turn reduces the chances of your feet being damaged or becoming infected.

It doesn't matter when you wear these boots you will discover that throughout the summer months they help to keep your feet cool. Then when winter comes they are perfectly designed to help retain the heat so your feet remain warm even when you aren't wearing socks with them.

Certainly if you are looking for a great looking pair of boots for this winter then you cannot go far wrong with getting yourself a pair of Emu Bronte boots. Not only do they look good on but can be worn with just about anything that you have in your wardrobe.

Emu Boots - What Are the Benefits of Wearing These?

Emu Boots are relatively young in comparison to Uggs as the company only came into being in 1994. However, the parent company (Jacksons) originally a hide trading and tanning company has been around since 1948.

Originally the company back in the 1970’s was supplying the tanned sheepskin to surfers on Australia's surf coast and then they would make hand made after surf boots for themselves. The company soon realizes what a great market this is for them to get involved in and begins to subcontract to shoe makers. This way they are able to improve not just the quality but the performance of the basic sheepskin boot for surfers to wear.

Then during the 1980's Jacksons the parent company of Emu Boots go into partnership with Brian Smith (a surfer from Australia who now lives in Los Angeles) to supply sheepskin boots in the USA. These are supplied under the brand name that is now synonymous with sheepskin boots, namely Ugg. However, in 1993 UGG Australia is sold to Deckers and this is why in 1994 Jacksons decide to distribute their own brand of boots under the brand name Emu.

The lining of Emu boots is made from Micron 20 which is 100 percent Australian Merino Wool and does not incorporate other wool blends like some of their competitors do. Before being inserted into the boots the wool is knitted into a cotton fabric using 30mm lengths of wool. Then after being knitted it is trimmed back to 20mm, whereas a large number of their competitors use scraping and the off cuts from this process are reused to provide the lining in their boots.

The problem with using this process is that the lining does not tend to cope as well and because they fibers are too short they begin to fall out. So over time eventually they boots won't be able to wick away the moisture and prevent your feet from getting cold. Whereas the wool and process used to produce the lining in Emu boots does. The material used in Emu boots is so effect that it is able to wick away 70% of the moisture that your feet produces so unlike other styles of these boots where synthetic materials are used to line them you don't end up with smelly feet.

The other benefit to be had from you wearing Emu boots over some of the other brands is that they help to main an even body temperature in you throughout the year. So what this means is that during the summer your feel will stay cool and in the winter they will feel warm and cozy when you wear these boots.

The other thing about these boots which unlike Uggs is that Emu boots are still solely produced in Australia whilst others brands are made in countries such as China today. Plus what you will also find is that these boots are relatively inexpensive to purchase as well.

Goodbye Uggs - Hello EMU Bronte

Goodbye Uggs - Hello EMU Bronte

If you find yourself one of the many people who enjoy the look and feel of classic Australian boots, then you will most certainly discover that Emu Bronte boots are the right style that you're looking for. Emu Bronte Boots have become increasingly popular all around the world and have even found themselves on the feet of some of today's hottest TV and Movie Stars including Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz.

Depending on your personal sense of style, the Emu Bronte comes in 3 different variations, Hi, Lo and Mini. All three versions of the boot come in four original colors...Sand, Black, Chocolate and Chestnut. Additional colors for the Emu Bronte Lo are Orange and Orchid Pink while the Emu Bronte Hi comes in three more colors...Orange, Orchid Pink and Grey.

High quality construction includes premium suede upper and a lining produced from 100% Merino wool that give you a level of comfort and warmth that is unparalleled. Designed to be worn without socks, the Merino wool lining has the ability to pull excess moisture off of the feet keeping them dry and comfortable. Lastly, the long lasting and flexible sole, called Eva Emusole gives you traction when it's needed most without compromising style.

One common misconception of many high quality boots including the Emu Bronte are that buying a pair will cost you an arm and a leg. In comparison to other high quality boot manufactures including those from Australia, Emu boots come with a price tag that is significantly lower then expected for such a quality product. This is one of the main factors that contribute to their popularity, even making them a viable option to purchase for children.

Take a moment and try on some Emu Bronte for yourself. I believe your going to find yourself not only surprised, but your going to find yourself a new favorite pair of boots to wear no matter where you go.

Different between EMU boots and UGG Boots

Different between EMU boots and UGG Boots

Uggs and Emu boots are practically the same, Uggs are the original of their kind and Emu boots are their fancy knockoffs. If you're going to go and get that style of boot, splurge and get the Emu Boots.


Besides the fact that the bronte are cheaper. The Stinger & Manta style EMU boots are referred to as “premium boots” due to their superior construction and comfort. Similar to UGG and Kookaburra boots, these premium boots are made with one solid sheepskin piece all the way through. This means unlike other styles which are made with split suede on the outside, these boots have sheepskin on both the inside and outside. Thus even more comfort and of course a longer lasting boot! Where as......EMU's innovative technology makes happy sheep! EMU marries sheep wool to cow skin and cloth to create a shoe with all the warmth and comfort of other classic sheepskin boots, but with the added durability and water resistance of cow hide. The sole on this boot features a sleek EVA sole with a thin rubber layer for added traction. This boot will most definitely look great and stand up to your active life. Here is the different between them;

EMU boots
Emu boots are warm, good with water
Emu boots is made by a guy who was partners with the original ugg - but left and started emu.
Emu boots is cheaper
Emu boots are really good quality

UGG Boots
• Uggs are warm but not good with water, so if your in the snow a lot then its not good for your uggs, or if you live in WA where it rains A LOT, and if you do get uggs you should buy spray dont worry when you buy the spray they will tell you how often to use it
• Ugg is the original boot.
• Ugg is original (expensive brand)
• Uggs are a bit different in their fabrics
