FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant suede upper, which protects against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the authentic Australian sheepskin lining is designed to be worn against the skin, providing superior moisture-wicking and warmth.
How do I clean the sheepskin lining?
It is best to air out the boots regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sheepskin cleaner and avoid submerging the boots in water.
Does the sizing run large or small?
The EMU Higgie Boots are generally true to size. If you plan on wearing very thick socks, you may consider a half-size up if available.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out over time.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight initially
Genuine sheepskin compresses with wear; wear them around the house for short periods to allow the lining to mold to your feet.
Surface stains on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff out dry stains before they set into the fibers.
Sole collecting debris
The serrated design can trap small rocks; use a blunt tool or a stiff-bristled brush to clear the gaps in the rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots are made from genuine suede and sheepskin, initial setup is minimal—they are ready to wear straight out of the box. For compatibility, the standard UK sizing is true to size, though the sheepskin lining may feel snug initially before compressing slightly to fit your foot shape. To care for your boots, avoid direct heat sources when drying if they become damp, as this can stiffen the suede. Regularly use a soft brush designed for suede to lift away dust and debris. If you plan on wearing them in particularly wet environments, applying a suede-specific water-repellent spray periodically can help maintain the integrity of the protective finish.
