Aussie rules

Although I can’t imagine running fast in these woolen boots, I am definitely toastier than a shrimp on the barbie on Bondi Beach, mate. The fast running emu is Australia’s national bird, so EMU Australia has embraced the bird’s name…

Although I can’t imagine running fast in these woolen boots, I am definitely toastier than a shrimp on the barbie on Bondi Beach, mate.

The emu is Australia’s national bird – favoured for its fast running, resilience, and resourcefulness – and even features alongside the kangaroo on the Australian Coat of Arms. Thus, the 15-year old sheepskin and merino wool boot and apparel label EMU Australia has embraced the bird’s name for its brand.

I’m wearing the Stinger Lo in a gorgeous camel sheepskin in ‘Chestnut’.

I love the shaped inside heel for comfort and foot support. Definitely the best I’ve tried.

Proudly Australian.

Stinger Lo ($219) with Apollo Bay gloves ($179)

We love the fun colurblocking colourways the boots come in such as this Stinger Hi ($249) in purple.

This dark brown Hobart boot is divine. ($269)
