AUSFURS SHEEPSKIN FOOTWEAR (
Size Chart )
Because we have 10 sheep in Australia for every person, there
is an
abundance of sheepskin and, naturally, people making sheepskin
footwear. The huge supply of skins means that there is a wide
range of quality. Wool can be quite coarse as used in carpets
or extra fine as used for the finest
quality suits.
Ausfurs chooses predominantly Merino skins because the Merino
sheep are
renowned for soft wool. The boots are made up in rural Australia
under
strict quality control so that all items can have their guarantee
of
performance.
The Surf Life Guards were the first people to make the boots
really popular
because of their warmth and because they can be worn without
socks. The
early styles were particularly ugly - hence the name 'Ugg
boots'. Since
then, the idea of warm soft footwear has persisted but there
is now a
selection of design and quality. Ausfurs are at the forefront
of both areas.
