Our Feet Just Love Sheepskin Boots & Shoes!
Sheepskin boots are not only great for chilly days though, as they are the perfect footwear for warm weather too. Because sheepskin allows the air to circulate, they will keep your feet nice and cool even when the temperatures outside are rising.
The Australians originally called them the 'Ugg Boot' but as the name doesn't tell new buyers what Ugg Boots are exactly, they now market them as "Australian Sheepskin Boots" as it's the word 'sheepskin', not 'Ugg', which most people search for when looking for this trendy footwear.
Another concern about wearing sheepskin boots and shoes in the past was the maintenance. A lot of people didn't like to clean them, but that was then and this is now, and there are many great cleaning products manufactured specifically for cleaning your sheepskin products. Just ask any retailer for details on caring for your shoes and they'll surely be able to oblige.
For those of you that don't like the idea of wearing sheepskin boots, you will be pleased to know that most of the latest styles and trends to hit the catwalks are also available in leather and suede options too.
Australia was the first to introduce the sheepskin boot to the world of fashion and it got branded as the Ugg boot because those early designed were said to be 'Ugly' hence the word 'Ugg' is an abbreviation of that word. This is just hearsay as the true origin of the name is unknown, but the above is said to be the most likely.
There are many imitations of Australian Ugg Boots, some good, some not so good, so it's important to be mindful of this when you go shopping for sheepskin footwear. You might want to note that high quality originals are always lined with Australian Merino Sheepskin which is made only from sheepskin in the Land Down Under.
Quality footwear is so important for our feet and a lot of people (particularly women) put fashion over fitting and comfort. The long term negative impact poorly fitted shoes can have on our feet are too numerous to mention in this short piece, but you can buy genuine Australian Sheepskin Boots with confidence knowing that these boots are quality through and through. They combine a sturdy rubber sole with plush sheepskin to cradle the foot and leg in cloudlike comfort and support. All you need to do is make sure you purchase the right size for your feet.
