Waterproofing Your Sheepskin Boots

Sheepskin boots are naturally water resistant. They are made in New Zealand where we get a lot of rainfall and understand about getting wet. In most cases you will not need more protection from the wet. If you want more protection, you can order our waterproofer and condition to keep your sheepskin boots and slippers in top shape.

You can wear your sheepskin boots with or without socks. Please wear wool socks though, like our Milford Merino Wool Socks. Woolen socks will not effect the breathability of your sheepskin boots.

Washing Your Sheepskin Boots

To wash your sheepskin boots, use a mild soap and a brush or cloth. Rinse them off and keep the sheepskin boots inside away from the heat while they dry. Give the sheepskin boots a good hard brushing when they're dry to bring back the natural suede finish.

We now supply a sheepskin shampoo (Woolskin)that is great for all leathers and nubuck and helps maintain all the sheepskins natural qualities. See order form when you order your boots

For cleaning small spots on your sheepskin boots, jackets and our other slippers, we provide a Suede Eraser. The Suede Eraser is ideal for non-oily stains, dirt, water marks, and even pen marks. These are inexpensive and cost only a few dollars and can be used for all non-pigmented suede and nubuck leathers.

Sheepskin Boots Sizing

Our Boots are in Full sizes - Women's Boots: if you are a half size, order the smaller size. For instance if you wear a size 8.5 USA women's shoe- Order the size 8.

Men usually order up if they are a half size, especially if you have a wide foot.

Please note: we have replacement "inner soles" that can help your boots fit better if they are loose. These work particulaly well if your heel rides up. Order an extra pair of innersoles and use them both and boot will be more snug. (The innersoles should be changed every year or so depending on use anyway) so it is best to get an extra pair and they cost very little).

All sheepskin boots will feel snug and almost too tight to start with. Width is never a problem as they will eventually stretch out. The length will not stretch, so if your toe touches the end, you will have to return them. Our sheepskin boots are a natural and breathable leather product that will stretch over a couple of days. If you know your shoe size and tell us, there should be no problem fitting your sheepskin boots. If in doubt - the Euro sizes are the most accurate - all sports shoes have Euro sizes.

If after a year of use they seem a bit loose, don't worry, you can add another insole to tighten them up. Our sheepskin boots only come in whole number sizes not half sizes, so if you are a half size (say 8 1/2) then go for the 9.

When ordering make sure you are in the correct shop, we have five shops listed above. New Zealand, Australia, and UK have the same shoe sizes. USA sizes are different. If you are from the USA look up to the top of your screen and make sure you are in the USA shop where all prices are in US dollars and postage is included in the price. Europe sizes are likewise in the Euro shop.
