EMU Australia Billington

Pain- only for the narrowest of feet! – Way too narrow. I bought these based on the excellent reviews. Some were from several years ago so perhaps there have been modifications to the design that have made it a poorer shoe. It’s as if they took a size 6 and just made it longer and skinnier instead of scaling it up to be proportionally wider as well (I bought it in a 10). I put it on and could feel my foot bones being crushed together even before I stood up!

There is no way I could spend even half an hour in these things without suffering pain (my feet are average width and rather bony, FWIW). I assumed that because Emu Ugg boots are such a perfect fit and the reviews all said how great these are for walking in, that they’d be fine. I can’t be bothered to return them via post- I’m not sure if it’s possible to get them stretched out to the point where they’d actually be comfortable (my Emu Uggs in the same size are probably 33% wider). Even the ladies I know with narrow feet don’t have feet this narrow, so I will struggle to give them away. What a shame- the boot looks like it’s amazing quality otherwise.
