We get this question regularly and the answer is NO! We sell our own products, manufactured here in Melbourne, Australia by our company, Binder Productions Pty Ltd. We produce a brand of sheepskin footwear called "Jumbo Ugg" and we are not affiliated to the US company that own the UGG Australia brand - called Deckers. The word Ug,Ugh,Ugg has been associated with a style (not brand)of footwear for many years in Australia so you will find many people advertising ug,ugg or ugh boots.

Definition from Wikipedia: "Ugg boots, or simply uggs, are a generic term for a type of sheepskin boot popular in Australia and New Zealand. (The term allegedly comes from the way the boot "hugs" the foot and leg.)"

US Ugg Australia is a trading entity of US publicly listed company Deckers Outdoor Corporation. They purchased Ugg Holdings, Inc. from Australian Brian Smith in the 1990's. Whilst a representative of US Ugg Australia claim that their footwear is made in China, we believe from other sources that they are made in China, New Zealand and Australia.

Firstly, you could apply a special waterproofing agent for leather. This can usually be bought at any good shoe retailer or boot-maker. This helps to keep dirt and grime to a minimum as well as waterproofing the footwear. Be aware though, that once your footwear get wet, you need to apply another coat after they have dried. The next lot of instructions apply only to sheepskin footwear that have a single layer of sheepskin. ie. The skin is the outside and the wool is the inside.

Since UGG® footwear is made of sheepskin and leather, they are naturally resistant to small amounts of water. We do recommend waterproofing them if you intend on wearing them in heavy snowfall or rain.

We only sell 100% Australian made products. All our products including ugg boots, slippers, rugs and accessories are made in Australia. We don't sell products that are made in China.

No. In warmer weather (up to 80?F) the soft fibers act as a natural air conditioner, keeping your feet cool and comfortable.

Sure - there are many retailers of US Ugg Australia - mainly in the US but as you can appreciate - they are our competitors and we don't keep track of who and where they are.

We only use quality New Zealand and Australian twinface sheepskins in our shearling slippers and sheepskin boots. The sheepskin is specially tanned to provide a colored suede finish on one side and the shorn sheepskin pile on the other. This is far superior to products that opt for the cheaper wool or synthetic lined inners.

No, sheepskins used for sheepskin footwear and all other sheepskin products are a by-product of the meat and wool industries. The hide in its raw state is of limited financial value, it is the labour-intensive tanning process that adds value.

Just a short note to tell you how wonderful your baby rug is! My son Kirby (10 months) loves having it in his crib and it has helped with his sleep. It's ideal when traveling and very easy to care for. I am especially impressed with the quality and quick service from this company. I recommend your company and this product often."

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, we can sell to you - if you live outside Australia or New Zealand, we can't. Why? Because the freight cost from Australia to other parts of the world is quite high, and since we're unable to accept unseen credit cards from outside Australia / NZ because of the fraud risk, the only other trusted payment method available is a bank transfer, which most people wanting goods from overseas are unwilling to do.

Yes, we sell to the US and UK and NZ and Asia and Europe and every country. You can access these destinations when you go through the checkout process. Please note that duties and taxes may apply in your country and are your responsibility. US Customs may charge duty for orders over AUD$250.00. UK and Canadian Customs may charge duty at AUD$25.00 approx.

Each boot information page shows the price for various configurations of the boots and any options which are available. Just scroll down through the information on the page until you find the prices. Note that most of our pages are long and designed so you can scroll down through all of the basic information instead of mimicking a magazine where we show you one screen at a time. My new Wesco boots are the same size as previous pairs I've had, but they seem tighter.

Boots are made to be worn in wet conditions, so this is not a problem. Think of all the loggers and forest workers who wear Wesco boots in wet forests. The Dehner equestrian and Motor Patrol boots get wet all the time. The first thing to consider is that boots should be waxed or oiled so that they tend to repel water and are more resistant to water. Once they're wet, however, they should be dried as soon as possible with room temperature, dry air.

A Yes we do, although payment can only be made via Paypal for overseas purchasers since we have no arrangements for other currencies with our bankers, such as $US, €Euros or £GBP.

It is understandable that parents would like to keep their skater in stock boots as long as possible. Stock boots cost less, prices range from $250 to $475. They are also quicker to get, sometimes the same day of the fitting or within a few weeks. In some cases, a stock boot does not fit the design requirements or fitting needs of the skater.

If you have your own boots you can deduct $4 per day from the cost of your package. Please specify when making your reservation that you have your own boots and select a "ski only" package.
