What Size Should I select?

You should follow our sizing chart to ensure correct sizing. For best results take a barefoot measurement from heel to largest toe and compare to our size chart. You can find help for how to measure your feet here: colours-sizes.
If this method is impossible, for example if you are purchasing a surprise gift, then we recommend you take the usual size. If you are in between sizes, we would encourage you to take the size up. For example if you are normally a Ladies 6.5, we would recommend purchasing a Ladies 7. Your barefoot measurement in this instance would be between 23.6 cm to 24.5 cm.
When creating sizes and designing patterns, we have already taken into consideration the density of the wool. If you are not sure, you are always welcome to contact us for assistance.

Do Sheepskin Boots stretch?

Sheepskin boots will stretch wherever there is pressure around your feet and legs. Generally we see sheepskin boots stretch up to half a size.
Unless you prefer a loose fitting, your new sheepskin boots should be very snug. Your toes however should not be curling or hurting. The snugness should be felt over the bridge of your feet.
Your heel should be firmly in place without moving up and down.

What style is more suitable for wider calves?

For wide calves, we recommend measuring your calf area before your purchase. If this exceeds 38cm you should reconsider purchasing anything above the calf area. The exception to this depending on your measurement is our Tall dance and Nordic. These have the ability to widen due to their laces, and therefore, give more flexibility.
The Tall Dance will be our best recommendation for people with wider calves, if you are looking to purchase something above the mid-calf area.

What style is more suitable for High Instep or wider feet?

For people with a high instep we recommend our Alpine Range. Whether it be the Mini Alpines or the regular Alpine, these are designed to allow extra space over the bridge. They are also slightly wider around the sides and bridge area than the traditional style.
Our Ankle Boot design is also designed with the stitching coming upwards rather than across the bridge. Some customers find that these type of boots are easier on their instep and a better fit for wider feet.

Should I wear socks with my sheepskin boots?

It's up to you! We recommend enjoying the full effect of sheepskin warmth without socks. Allow the natural breathing fibres of sheepskin to give you maximum heat. There's nothing cosier than feeling the fluffiness of sheepskin on your bare feet. In fact, Most Australians prefer wearing sheepskin boots with no socks on.

Where can these boots be worn?

Traditionally in Australia, sheepskin boots are worn at home and the courageous *may* wear them when they pop out to their local supermarket. Head on over to the more multicultural suburbs and you start seeing them worn in a fashionable, fun and vivacious manner, influenced by the overseas approach to sheepskin boots. These days you can wear our boots for any occasion or purpose, Our Hiking sole range for example is perfect for camping and hiking; that's right, we have had orders for formals, and even weddings, The good old Aussie icon has now evolved into nothing less than a fashion statement.
We say, wear them as you wish and look after them like you would care for any of your favourite footwear. Sheepkin Boots are delicate and as such should be taken good care of, both, whilst in use and when stored away waiting for next winter. You can find Tips on how to care for your ugg boots at our care section.

Are your Sheepskin Boots water proof?

We get this question often and the answer is no, they are not waterproof. You can however make them more water resistance using our protector. This will repel the water from absorbing in the sheepskin and from leaving unwanted water stains. Use it, it will keep your Sheepskin Boots looking good for longer.
We have more information in our Care section of the website.

Can I wear these boots to the snow?

Sheepskin Boots are the best thing to meet when you come back to your chalet after a wonderful day of ski. Snow boots off, sheepskin boots on – Perfect!
Our traditional Sheepskin Boots are not suitable for snow, People naturally associate snow with sheepskin boots due to their warmth. However sheepskin boots are not water proof and taking them in deep snow will saturate them resulting in freezing feet.  Our Outdoor Boots range will provide you with some limited protection, however these will only protect you from a couple of cm of depth. They should not be used to replace ski boots or gum boots.

How long will my sheepskin boots / slippers last?

Depending on the use and care. If you wear them only indoor, then you should get some years out of them. We have seen people bring us in their boots still in great condition after 10 years.
There is no need to purchase a new pair if your innersoles go flat, this is normal as most of the pressure goes towards the soles. We do recommend replacing your innersoles once they go flat with a new pair of sheepskin Innersoles as they will make your Boots feel new.
If they are used extensively and are for outdoor use this time frame will reduce significantly.
Although sheepkin boots do stretch, teenagers or children that are still growing may require a new pair every season.

What Colours do your Boots come in?

We offer our Sheepskin Boots in more than 20 colours and growing.
The colour in which these boots are most recognisable is the chestnut and is always a winner and a sure thing if you wish to purchase our boots as a gift.
Historically these boots came in the Chestnut and Sand colour, however, the more people used them the more specific colour requirements became. We are now very proud of a variety of more than 20 colours. We try to come up with new colours as seasons change and we remove colours as they become dated.

Do you sell the 'Ugg Australia' brand?

Over the years there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the Deckers Brand and Australian manufacturers. The answer is quite simply no. We do not sell this brand of boots, we are not affiliated with their company, nor do we make boots for this brand. Deckers are an American owned company who internationally own the brand name 'Ugg' and whose manufacturing occurs offshore, mostly in China. They are not an Australian company and they do not sell Australian made sheepskin boots – We do!
In Australia as we all know the term "ugg" is a generic term which refers to a sheepskin boot and cannot be trademarked.
