What is "double face" Merino sheepskin?

This term distinguishes true sheepskin boots from sheepskin linings. "Double face" sheepskin is sheepskin through and through: the outer surface of the boot is the sheepskin itself, and the inner surface is the wool, which is still attached to the skin. Koolaburra uses only top-grade double face Merino sheepskin in all of our footwear.

Some other constructions use non-Merino or other lower-grade "sheepskin linings" glued to cowhide or pigskin, or "wool linings" with the wool itself glued to cowhide or pigskin. Boots made in this manner do not have the breathability and comfort of true double face Merino sheepskin.

Why is "Made in Australia" important?

Real Australian sheepskin boots are made in Australia, and have been for generations - they are an Australian icon. No one knows sheepskin like Australian craftsmen with decades of experience. To make sure that your boots are really Australian, check for "Made in Australia" on the tag. Many companies have manufactured imitations in China or elsewhere. These boots often say "Australia" on the boxes (or on the boots themselves). While this may be misleading, it is not illegal. U.S. and international trade laws do, however, protect the terms "Made in Australia" or "Australian Made" so that only genuine Australian boots can display that label.

What is the difference?

In short, Koolaburra footwear is actually Australian.

There are many differences between Koolaburra boots and other boots, including:

• Koolaburra boots feature removable insoles (like all of our boots and most of our slippers) for long-lasting comfort.
• Koolaburra boots are hand-crafted with a unique pattern that creates a deep toe well and a firm fit across the arch, providing a superior fit.
• Koolaburra makes footwear exclusively in Australia.

All Koolaburra footwear is made from top-quality double-face Australian Merino sheepskin. We never use lower grade "sheepskin linings" in our footwear. Try on a pair today, and let your feet feel the difference!

How should I care for my Koolaburra footwear?

First and foremost, we strongly recommend protecting your boots with Waproo Water & Stain Protector, especially in wet or snowy climates. In addition, every owner of fine sheepskin footwear deserves an extra replacement insole. Swap the insoles out every couple of weeks, or more often if you wear the boots frequently. If necessary, remove and wash the insoles with Sheepskin Shampoo with Lanolin, which freshens them and keeps the wool exquisitely soft. Regularly washing and replacing your insoles will keep your boots feeling great for years. If your footwear becomes soiled, we recommend first attempting to remove any loose dirt or smudges with a very soft nylon bristle suede brush. Brush very gently - never scrub. You may also hand-wash your footwear with Koolaburra® Sheepskin Shampoo with Lanolin, following the instructions on the bottle. Be careful to wash both entire boots, and wash the insoles separately. Never spot clean or scrub roughly. Dry slowly away from heat and sunlight. Some dye loss and temporary stiffening of the sheepskin is normal. For best results, apply Waproo Water and Stain Protector after washing.
