First, there were mukluks, the winter moccasins that were all the rage among the Inuits in the early 20th century. Then came Uggs, a footwear craze involving thick, brown, slip-on boots primed for everyday wear. Now, those who have tired of Uggs have an alternative in EMU Boots, a similar product with a lower price tag and a hipper pedigree.
The EMU Line
According to the EMU website, the company is "located in Geelong, Australia, the heart of the finest quality wool growing district in the world and the birthplace of the Australian 'ugg' boot." EMU's products come in a variety of styles, but its key product is the boot: a mid-calf-length, sheepskin-lined shoe with sturdy soles and outer shells in several different earth tones.
Distributors
EMU's official website is not the key resource for Americans looking to purchase a pair of EMU Boots. Many well-known shoe stores carry different styles at affordable prices.
Piperlime
Piperlime, an extension of the Gap, is an online retailer that sells numerous brands of footwear, mainly targeted toward women. EMU Boots are available here for both women and children and, at the time of this writing, cost anywhere from $35 to more than $200.
Journeys
Journeys, a chain store found in malls throughout the States, sells EMU Boots at slashed prices. You won't find the high-end styles here, as these boots all fall under $100. In addition, the store carries the slip-on, moccasin-style EMU shoe for under $50.
Pacific Sunwear
At Pacific Sunwear, some of the higher-end EMU Boots are available and, again, quite affordable, not going above $110 as of this writing. Styles found at Pac Sun range from tall boots with side embellishments such as bows and buttons, to the simpler mid-length model.
Planet Shoes
A whopping 26 styles of EMU Boots are available for women on Planet Shoes, which also boasts a variety of colors, lengths and styles. The boots go for as low as under $60 and as high as $188 and come in blue, gray, black and several different shades of brown. If variety is your aim, Planet Shoes is probably your best bet. The only strike against the site is that it has no retail locations. If online shopping isn't your bag, go with Journeys or Pac Sun.
