Buying Sheepskin Boots - Why Quality Matters

We came across an article on Templr.com by Sue Madelin that goes deep into the quality of sheepskin boots. With detailed explanations of most everything that goes into making a quality pair of sheepskin boots, this is a great place to get informed before you spend your money on a pair of cheap imitation Uggs. Starting with the right sheep, the care that’s taken during the tanning and production process is pretty amazing. But the results are worth the effort. As Sue states,

Real sheepskin has many wonderful properties. For example did you know that it is non-static, flame resistant, wind proof and that the leather side is naturally water resistant? It also drapes beautifully and will return to its constituent shape — this means that over time your sheepskin boots will mold themselves to the shape of your foot offering you a customized fit. And as if that were not enough, the high naturally occurring lanolin content in the wool acts as a moisturizer so you can even moisturize your feet as you walk!

There are a more than a few fluff articles about sheepskin [no pun intended] in the fashion blogs; it’s cool to hear good advice from an expert on what it takes to make a warm, comfortable, breathable pair of boots.
