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.

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.)"

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.

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.

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.

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

Hand wash your ugg boots in warm water, using an approved wool detergent. To dry, place your uggs in the shade, away from heat or direct sunlight and allow to dry out slowly to retain the soft, supple finish. For more information please refer to Ugg Boots Care.

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.

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.

Uggs" commonly refers to the Ugg boots produced by UGG Australia. UGG Australia was founded by an Australian surfer who popularized his sheepskin boots among Californian surfers, who needed something warm and soft to keep their feet warm. These boots later infiltrated into mainstream culture and became a trend and other companies began making them (though keep in mind that UGG Australia was not the first to produce boots of this style). Everyone was wearing them.

Uggs-N-Rugs are a small family concern who have been manufacturing sheepskin footwear in Western Australia for almost 25 years. They have succeeded where a lot of people have failed by providing:

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.

This is really a tough question to answer. Unless you obtain the patch from the unit or a member of a unit, there is often no way of truly knowing. There are numerous companies that reproduce some of the more popular patches and sell them. I know of at least one major toy company that produced reproductions of various Air Force and Navy insignia a couple of years back. Also many companies make "eye-candy" patches that are never used by Air Force units.

All I can do to answer that is to show some of the comments of various (non-Australian) leaders over the years.

Laurie, There is a pest cockroach, Periplaneta australasiae, which is common outdoors in the southern USA. It is commonly called the Australian cockroach. It is found worldwide as a pest and also called the greenhouse cockroach because of its predilection for establishing itself as a pest in the warmth of greenhouses at all latitudes. It is also found in western Australia. I am not sure of the etymology of the common name, 'Australian cockroach'.

Yes, the Wader PEET Dryer model is the answer. You can also purchase PEET Extensions that can easily be added to other PEET Dryer models (e.g. Original, Propane) to dry and remove odors from such footwear.

By far the best way to break-in new boots is to skate in them. First, start by spending a session or two just stroking forward, stroking backward and doing simple spinning. When the boots feel comfortable, add the basic jumps you can land consistently. You may find that when the boots are new, you may have to relace the boots during the session to allow the lace to stretch, leather stretching and foam tongues compression.
