Do EMU boots run small? I've heard they do, but before i purchase them online Id like to make sure that I'm ordering the right size. For example, i usually wear an 8, should i purchase a 7? thankyou :)

Peeps answered Saturday November 7 2009, 12:23 am: I have heard that EMU boots run large, actually, but I have no experience with the brand myself. Personally, if I were you, I would go to a store nearby that sells EMU boots and try them on. You don't have to actually make a purchase but you can try on various styles and see how they fit on your feet. That way you're aware of what size you are in EMU boots without having to make a blind purchase online! :)
Another way to tell is to measure your foot and go by the guide on the website you're purchasing on. They usually say something like "see our size guide" and you can go by that. According to some of the EMU boot sites you will need to:
"Measure your bare foot from the back of your heel to the tip of your big toe. Place your heel against a wall for greatest accuracy (measure by standing on a ruler). We recommend that you go down to the nearest full centimetre."
After that, the guide says that a Woman's size:
US 5 = UK 3 = EURO 35/36 = 22.0 Centimeters
US 6 = UK 4 = EURO 37 = 23.0 Centimeters
*US 7 = UK 5 = EURO 38 = 24.0 Centimeters
&
*US 8 = UK 6 = EURO 39 = 25.0 Centimeters
US 9 = UK 7 = EURO 40/41 = 26.0 Centimeters
US 10 = UK 8 = EURO 42 = 27.0 Centimeters
US 11 = UK 9 = EURO 43 = 28.0 Centimeters
Try to convert your foot size to centimeters if you simply cannot find a store nearby that sells EMU boots to try on. The "chart" above is for women's so it should be fairly simple to measure it out and get something fairly accurate!
P.S. If someone says that something runs SMALL then you go up a size than your normally do. In this case, if the EMU boots "run small" and you typically wear a size 8 boot then you would then go up a size a wear a size 9! If the item "runs large" then you would go down a size because it's larger than usual! [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
