EMU Tasman Mini

The Tasman Mini is lined with plush Australian sheepskin, and when I first stepped into the boot, I loved how soft and comfortable it was. But even though the inside of the boot feels like a cozy house slipper, the exterior is pretty darn tough. The boot’s exterior is made of a waterproof suede and has sealed seams between the inner sheepskin and outer suede.

I usually wear a size 7, and the size 7 Tasman Mini has a slightly tight fit. Even with my fairly narrow foot, the boot feels snug but not too tight. Length-wise, the Tasman feels true to size. The boot isn’t offered in half-sizes, and I would probably recommend sizing up rather than down if you’re in-between sizes.

The waterproof suede on the Tasman Mini has done well in moderate rain and while walking through a few puddles, and I predict it’ll do well in snow, too.

The boot’s top sits just above the ankle, which makes it feel comfortable and light. The boot is tall enough that it provides adequate warmth in colder temperatures and still protects the lower part of the calf against precipitation. And despite their waterproof suede exterior and sheepskin lining, the boots never felt too hot or too cold indoors and actually seem quite breathable.

The boots are easy to slip on and off, so they’re perfect for when you need to throw something on quickly and run out the door.

The Tasman Mini is a warm, cozy boot that will protect your feet from the elements and it looks great too. The boots don’t have any fancy features, but offer a clean look and are solidly constructed.

Bottom Line

The EMU Tasman Mini is one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn and has a simple, stylish look. The boots’ waterproof construction will keep your feet warm out in the elements, while remaining breathable for comfort indoors, too.
