-Sheepskin Is a Sustainable Byproduct
Unlike most furs and skins, sheepskin is a byproduct of the food industry. Tanning the sheepskin and using it for clothing makes environmental sense and avoids wasting a valuable natural resource. Wearing sheepskin does not threaten any endangered species.

Sheepskin boots have been made and worn in Australia and New Zealand for decades. The tanned hides are turned skin side out to take advantage of the natural waterproofing and put the snuggly warmth of natural wool next to your feet. It is the perfect material for winter boots, keeping your feet warm and dry in the nastiest weather.

Natural sheepskin is also ideal for children's and baby shoes. Baby booties made of natural sheepskin keep baby's feet warm and dry without constricting them. When your little one starts to walk, the natural suppleness of the skin makes it easy for little toes to grip and flex the way they need to in order to balance during those precarious early months.

These days, UGG Australia has turned UGG boots of natural sheepskin into a high fashion statement. UGG Australia boots, slippers and casual shoes are featured in the pages of the world's biggest fashion magazines and touted everywhere as the ultimate in luxurious comfort.
