Sheepskin Story!

Sheepskin Story!

Sheepskin, or wool, has clothed people for millennia, keeping them warm in wintery climates and comfortable in warmer environments. Also known as sherling or fleece, sheepskin continues to be a timeless choice. It is an extremely versatile fabric, and is used to make many kinds of clothing, from coats and hats to socks and gloves. Footwear has been one of the most popular uses for sheepskin; boots, slippers, and clogs made of sheepskin are valued for their comfort and style.

The initial European colonists settled hundreds of years ago in Australia with their sheep. The Australian rural landscape is uniquely suited to sheep, as the weather remains relatively mild and the landscape encompasses massive expanses of natural grassland. Similar to most any primitive lifestyle, it was important for the earliest settlers to put all possessions to complete use, as resources were often scarce. Not only were sheep used as a lucrative crop, for trading purposes, and as a source of food, but they were used for clothing as well. Over the years, the sheep became the primary crop and chief export for the entire country. With its dominance of the sheep industry for such an extended time, it is no wonder Australia was said to 'ride on the sheep's back'. The country's largest and most significant form of land use is for wool production, with roughly 70,000 wool-growing properties spreading from north of Queensland to the mid-north of Western Australia, including Tasmania and the Islands of the Bass Strait.

Australian Merino
The numbers of sheep are overwhelming. Individual flocks range from as little of a few hundred to as many as 100,000 or more! Three-quarters of all Australian sheep run in flocks of 3,000 or more. Australia produces 30 percent of all wool used worldwide, from over 100 million sheep. Other significant sheep flocks are found in the he USSR (117 million), China (111 million), New Zealand (50 million) and India (40 million).
More than 80 percent of all Australian sheep are a breed called the "Australian Merino". The outstanding feature of this sheep is its large size, and is known primarily for its heavy fleeces of fine quality wool. It is a distinct breed that has adapted to the specific conditions of the Australian countryside. Geelong, on the south east coast of Australia, is considered the wool capital of the world. In fact, Emu Australia, a premier manufacturer of sheepskin products, controls all processes from sourcing and tanning to manufacturing in the Geelong location.
Sheepskin = Sherling = fleece = wool
Over time, sheepskin boot production became as much a part of the Australian history as the cowboy boot is to America's Western heritage. Sheepskin hides were put to use to create all forms of clothing, including footwear. The Aussie ranchers made their boots from the skins of the Merino sheep, after discovering the unsurpassed quality of Merino sheep wool.
From the 1820s on, it is this highly valued wool that was Australia’s primary export product. The Merino sheepskin is perhaps nature’s most perfect material for footwear: durable, yet extremely soft and lightweight, it creates a boot that has a rich suede texture on the outside and the smooth, gentle fleece lining on the inside. This is one reason why sheepskin boots are so cozy.
What Makes Sheepskin Special Still strong enough for outdoor wear, it is the Merino sheepskin that is responsible for the boots' snug, comfy, foot-molding property that feels like gigantic socks when slipped around your feet. The exceptional fleece lining is a product that can be worn all times of the year, in extreme cold or in the heat of summer. In cold conditions, the fleece supplies the feet with an insulating layer of warmth by trapping in body heat. In the heat, the natural fibers of the fleece actually keep your feet cool by pulling perspiration away from your skin; thus keeping air circulating in the boots keeping your feet dry.

Since sheepskin is naturally thermostatic, you can wear them in conditions from-30 F to as high as your thermometer will go! Also, sheepskin contains lanolin and will moisturize your feet when worn barefoot. In Australia and the US, the typical way to wear sheepskin footwear is without socks.

Sheepskin Today
In 2002, fashion industries around the world determined it was an appropriate time to really popularize sheepskin products. How? By producing and promoting countless styles of clothes made out of sheepskin. What started out as purely beach-scene style made its way to ski areas and ultimately wound up finding popularity in the mainstream fashion industry.
Finally, consumers could obtain the best of both worlds: a product that is delightful to wear and is still considered fashionable. The versatility and popularity of sheepskin is a clear sign that it is no longer a secret of the surfers. Much of this exposure has been driven by the high visibility of the UGG Australia brand. Deckers corp., owners of UGG Australia, has marketed their cozy little sheepskin boots very well. See the exposure in People Magazine below

UGG, Emu, Koolaburra, Aussie Dog and Jackson Bay are all manufacturers of sheepskin boots that have taken this wonderful material and made it look fashionable. Check them all out at http://www.spt23.com

What's Your Size for UGG Boots

All sheepskin footwear comes in whole sizes and one width only. For people that frequently wear half sizes, you will need to round up or down to the nearest whole size, depending on the brand or style. On this page, we have included guidelines for selecting the proper size for each brand, when possible.Sheepskin footwear should fit snugly when it is new. Eventually the fuzzy sheepskin on the inside will mat down a small amount, creating a molded fit and causing the footwear to loosen up a bit. The skin on the outside can stretch out a little as well. This will occur more frequently in products with a 100% sheepskin outer layer. There will be less stretching if the outer layer is cowhide (as in some Chooka, Simple, and Emu styles), or if it is covered with pigskin (like some Aussie Dogs). For these two reasons, your sheepskin footwear products should start off close-fitting and snug.

A note of caution, however: though your shoes or boots should initally feel snug, you do not want to feel pressure points on your toes. If your toes feel very tight and you are able to feel pressure points when wearing your new footwear, it is probably too small. Keep this in mind when you are determining what size is right for you. Also, remember that sheepskin footwear is designed to be worn barefoot. If you intend to wear socks, keep in mind that the recommended size may fit more snugly and your feet may feel warmer.You can buy replacement insoles for many of the styles, which can fluff up the sherling on the inside under your feet, making them more snug. Sometimes this can solve the problem if you wear a half size: if you feel that you are between sizes, then you can round up to the larger size and add an extra insole inside to take up some of the space. Thick socks can be worn to take up some room as well.Note: Unisex sizes are quoted in mens sizes, so unisex size 6 is equivalent to"mens 6" and "women's 7".

Half Sizes

If you choose a half size as your shoe size in a particular brand that does not carry half sizes, we shall to the best of our knowledge, round up or down to the nearest whole size. If on arrival your shoe ends up being the wrong size, we reserve the right to NOT refund or pay for the return shipping costs. We will assume that the customer wants us to choose the appropriate size at the time of check out.

Each individual has unique considerations for length, width, instep height, arch height, toe length, and so on. Although the above information is intended to guide you, it may not be correct for everyone in every instance.

Some Acorn Products are sized normally, using whole numbers. Others, such as some of the slippers are small, medium, large, etc. For example, the Womens' line of "Oh Ewe" slipper runs from an XX-Small to a Small, while the unisex "Sheep-On" slippers run from XX-Small to X-Large.

The charts below will help you choose your size.

Women's

W Small W Medium W Large W X-Large
5-6 6.5-7.5 8-9 9.5-10.5
W6 W7 W8 W9 W10 W11
Acorn boots tend to be a little wide, but still are snug. Acorn slippers are a bit more on the loose side as well, but more flexible than the boots because of a flexible comfort sole. It's normal to experience some slippage on your heel with Acorn slippers. Even in thier textured Moc which has a back on it wrapping around yuor heal

Chookas tend to fit true to size. Their slippers can run a little wider when compared to the other brands. In the case of dealing with a half size, Chooka recommends that it is best to round down to the nearest full size. While the boots will be snug in the beginning, they will eventually stretch out a little and form to your feet. They will become very comfortable, but may take just a bit longer to break in since they have an outer cowhide layer.

Emu footwear runs true to size. In the case of a half size, Emu reccomends rounding up to the nearest whole size. Width is fairly standard, and seems to fit most people just right.

UGG footwear should be snug, but not uncomfortable. Their footwear will give a bit as it molds to your foot. UGG's products are designed to be worn barefoot (as most sheepskin products are) to maximize the cushioning and the proper warmth of the sheepskin. Their fleece footbed will mold to the natural contours of your foot, creating a personalized arch support.

Sizes generally run large in both length and width, espcially for "classic" styles.

A note about size variations

At SheepskinShoes.com, we will try our best to match your order with the correct size. Due to the fact that UGGs are made in Australia, New Zealand and China, the actual size of the product may vary. We may adjust your order if we see that you tried to order a half size. When this happens, we will choose a whole size for you in an effort to match the appropriate size depending on where the particular item is from.

Tips for specific styles

Ultra Short/Tall, Sundace II, Sundance Short, Classic Short, Classic Tall, Clogs, Slippers, and the Adirondack Collection

Ugg Australia recommends that you select a size smaller than your normal size for the above styles, because these products tend to be a half-size to a whole size too large and have a tendency to fit loosely. If you wear a half-size you should probably round down!

Although some people do, we do not recommend putting your boots in the washing machine. If you plan to wash your boots, make sure to use a soft or gentle soap. Hair shampoos are generally more gentle than regular laundry detergents or dish soaps. Normal detergents can severely damage sheepskin! We do recommend hand washing your sheepskin footwear products.
Ensure maximum water repellency and protect against stains with UGG Australia Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent. To clean UGG footwear, use UGG Australia Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner.

We recommend that all Sheepskin products be sprayed with a Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent before being worn especially if they are Twin Faced sheepskin (100% sheepskin) or a light color. This will prevent dirt and oil from soaking into the sheepskin or suede and will thus trap dirt on the surface, making the cleaning process easier. Stain and water repellent is very helpful and effective. We sell a variety of quality sheepskin protectors.
How to Clean Suede Uppers:
Dampen entire boot evenly to the seams. Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a minor amount of water and Suede Cleaner to the cloth. Then rub two pieces of the cloth against each other creating lather. Do not pour shampoo directly onto your sheepskin items. Evenly and gently clean the surface with the cloth. Then thoroughly rinse the boot by using a wet, clean cloth. Allow to dry naturally in the house in a well ventilate area. Avoid heat or direct sunlight. We do not recommend putting your sheepskin shoes in the washing machine. We recommend hand washing for best results. Stuff the boot with paper towels to help maintain its original shape while it dries. Once the boot dries, buff the leather lightly with a clean suede brush to restore the nap of the leather fibers.
After cleaning, spray again with Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent to help protect against any future damage or stains! The spray will put a protective sealer over the upper to keep dirt and grease out. This should enhance the life of the shoe.
How to Clean Twin Faced Sheepskin (100% Sheepskin) Uppers:
Hand wash ONLY, do not machine wash. Dampen the entire boot evenly to the seams with cold water. Apply water and a small amount of Sheepskin Cleaner & Conditioner to a clean, soft cloth or sponge. You can mix sheepskin shampoo with water to create a nice subtle cleaning solution. Do not pour shampoo directly onto your sheepskin items. Be sure to gently clean the entire boot evenly to prevent discoloration in the Sheepskin. Rub gently on the sheepskin upper as some pieces tend to be delicate. Do not use a wire or coarse brush on sheepskin uppers because they can sometimes scar the sheepskin. Rinse using a clean, wet cloth. Be sure to remove all of the Cleaner. You can maintain the shape of your boots by stuffing them with paper towels. Allow your boots to dry naturally and slowly avoiding any direct sunlight or heat at all times.
After cleaning, spray with Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent to help protect against any future damage or stains!


To clean your Sheepskin Shoes, first wet the entire shoe with cold water using as little water as possible. Then apply a small amount of cleaning soap/shampoo to a sponge or soft brush and clean the entire area thoroughly and evenly. Rinse clean the shoe in cold water. If washing the insides, reshape the shoe or boot by stuffing it with paper towels which will help pull the moisture out of the sheepskin. Let them dry in the house or in the shade to keep the sheepskin in its best condition. Do NOT dry your shoes in direct heat or sunlight.

Shampoos and Repellents
While normal soaps/shampoos work for cleaning your boots, there are some custom Sheepskin Care products we offer that will ensure that your boots are being cared for properly.

The various Sheepskin Footwear Product companies offer special shampoos that are formulated to take extra care of the sheepskin. These products will protect the surface of the sheepskin and allow for easy removal of dirt, without harming the sheepskin. Directions are on the back of each bottle.

The best method to care for your sheepskin shoes is a preventative one. Spraying your boots with a protective seal when they are purchased and/or after they are cleaned is a good habit to get into. Many Sheepskin Shoe companies offer some type of repellent to protect the outer sheepskin. These easy to apply sprays protect your shoes from rain, snow, and stains by putting a protective coating over the skin. This will keep stains and dirt on the surface of your shoe, making it easier to remove them when cleaning. If you plan on using your sheepskin footwear outside of your house, we highly recommend you use this spray.



Replacement Soles
The insoles of many styles can be replaced. Simply pull out the existing insole and replace it with your new insole. You can find replacement insoles in our store, and they are a great way to spruce up the sheepskin under your feet. Putting a new insole on top of the existing insole can be a good way to take up excess room inside the boot or shoe if they ever stretch out. They can also replace the smell that can get trapped under your feet.



Replacement Insoles For Your Sheepskin Shoes

Browse through our wide selection of Sheepskin Shoe care products to find what you need. With proper care, your Sheepskin Footwear Products will be clean and comfortable for years to come!

Footwear Repair
We would like to carry replacement soles for almost every EVA-soled Sheepskin Shoe, but it is a difficult task! If your shoe has an EVA (Ethal Vinyl Acetate) sole, it can often be replaced. We have a shoe repair facility on-site where we can replace EVA soles. We will make sure that we have an EVA sole that will work to your satisfaction before putting it on. Sometimes EVA soles are available from certain companies but not from others.


A standard EVA sole, where the foam sole is glued to the bottom of the shoe. These may be resoled.
This is a non-EVA sole where the rubber is stitched directly onto the shoe. These are currently not resoleable.

If we can obtain a sole that is large enough, we can grind it down to fit. The main difference between EVA soles from different companies is the thickness of the sole. The other is style, but again, we can always grind it down to fit your shoe. We often use Koolaburra EVA soles as replacements for other brands. They work great!

You can mix sheepskin shampoo with water to create a nice subtle cleaning solution. Do not pour shampoo directly onto your sheepskin items. Be sure to gently clean the entire boot evenly to prevent discoloration in the Sheepskin. Rub gently on the sheepskin upper as some pieces tend to be delicate. Do not use a wire or coarse brush on sheepskin uppers because they can sometimes scar the sheepskin. Rinse using a clean, wet cloth. Be sure to remove all of the Cleaner. You can maintain the shape of your boots by stuffing them with paper towels. Allow your boots to dry naturally and slowly avoiding any direct sunlight or heat at all times.
After cleaning, spray with Sheepskin Stain & Water Repellent to help protect against any future damage or stains!

The History of UGG Australian Boots

In 1978 Brian Smith, a young Australian surfer, brought a core piece of "Down Under" to the United States. Armed with two dozen pairs of Ugg sheepskin boots, he hit the streets of NYC ready to make his "sheepskin to riches" story to come true. Three days later he was "down under" by $950. He still had two dozen Ugg boots and was feeling lonely in the Big Apple.

Brian was convinced these Australian boots had a place in the US market. He then set out determined to find it. Luckily, it didn't take him long to realize that the Ugg boots would fit the same feet in the States as they do in Australia - surfers feet. In fact, he soon discovered there was already a core group of surfers who had brought Ugg boots back from Australia to share with their American surfing "mates."

His first season in business Brian sold 48 pairs of Ugg boots to a whopping 5 accounts. Of course, it was the crazy California surfers who grasped the genius of these Ugg sheepskin boots - the incredible warmth, ultimate comfort and cozy sheepskin.

Now Ugg boots are sold from LA to New York to London and all points in between. They have also grown beyond boots to incorporate shoes, slippers and clogs and all-weather products made of the same fine Australian sheepskin.

Brian Smith continues to keeps the Australian Spirit alive as a spokesperson for the Ugg brand.

The Made in China UGG boots, So yesterday?

When I surfed on Baidu/Google search engine for the UGG Boots the other day, Decker company are planning to enterthe Chinese market. It will acquired a 51% stake of UGG in the Chinese markets. We will be able to see the official UGG Australia product of the United States in the Chinese market soon. I think the business in Taobao will also have negative influence. However, Our factory make Australia UGG boots. After all, there is some difference between USA's UGGs and AU UGG's.

These went out of style in what 2004? But there is still something endearing dare I say timeless about these cozy little shearling boots. Every once in a while I will come across someone in New York and say "Doesn't she look cozy in her Ugg boots?", however the next thing that enters my mind is visions of teenagers shopping at Fred Segel in LA in mini skirts and Uggs. Gross! Apparently though I am not the only one with Ugg's on my mind. I had my eye on these little darlings in Gray at American Eagle Outfitters and they are already sold out.

Christmas-box - This season UGG Cardy Boots Grey/black only

What is the difference between UGG Cardy Boots 5819 and UGG Crochet Short boots 5833?

The main difference you will immediately see between the Classic Cardy and the Crochet Tall boots is that the Cardy comes with three large wooden buttons down the side. This not only helps to improve what is already a great looking boot but also helps you to be a little more creative in the way that they are worn.

Another great feature because these boots have been made using a mixture of polyester and wool blend they come in some great looking colors as well. Certainly, the color which is likely to be most popular with women young and old alike is the Dusty Rose. However, they are also available in more neutral colors such as black, grey or oatmeal.

Where the Crochet Tall is very simple in its design the new Classic Cardy style will make it very popular with young and old alike. Yet with both styles you are able to wear them pulled up over a pair of jeans or you can wear them slouched down. Really, how you wear them depends on what you are actually wearing and the kind of mood you are in.

So when it comes to choosing a pair of boots that are both comfortable and have their own unique styling. It would be worthwhile considering buying a pair of this seasons must haves. The Ugg Classic Cardy!
