Although increasingly difficult to source the premium grade Merino sheepskin used in our entire range results in a comfort level unrivalled by any other sheepskin boot or ugg boot. Lower grade sheepskins utilised by the majority of manufacturers provide a much coarser finish resulting in a ‘scratchy’ feeling boot. In addition to merino grading our inner fleece is extremely thick so your feet are wrapped in a soft and spongy and warm fleece.
Traditional ugg and sheepskin boots are cosy, soft and easy to wear. This is why you see them absolutely everywhere in Australia. Whooga boots are crafted from Australian sheepskin graded for ugg boots. The inner sheepskin fibres are denser, plusher and much softer on your skin. If you dip your toes into a Whooga boot made from this sheepskin you will immediately feel the difference, your feet will be a little cosier, much warmer (on colder days) and the sheepskin definitely won’t scratch your skin or cause odour problems associated with tradition ugg boots. You can actually see the difference very clearly.
This premium graded sheepskin creates the worlds warmest and cosiest fashion icon. The thicker inner fleece acts as natural air conditioner, circulating and maintaining body warmth on colder days while allowing air to freely flow and cool your body on warmer days. Designed for bare feet our boots offer the ultimate indulgence in luxury and comfort.
A thicker spongy fleece will circulate more air. Not only does this result in greater thermostatic ability (air conditioning) it increases the ability of your Whooga's in preventing moisture build-up. Authentic merino sheepskin is extremely effective at absorbing unpleasant odours. Synthetic ugg boots created from lower grade sheepskin do not posses this ability to circulate air as effectively as merino sheepskin. As a result these types of boots will often cause your feet to sweat and eventually smell.
The worlds warmest boots are also the worlds coolest, but only when your feet need chilling of course! Whooga boots are even more effective at circulating cooler air during warmer days due to the natural properties of the thicker fleece we utilize. Australian surfers initially designed the fleecy feet warmers to be warn at the beach, providing instant comfort to toes fresh from the surf. Don't be fooled into thinking your sheepskin boots are only capable of warming your toes! After all they were born in the summer of the worlds hottest country! Our thicker fleece allows your toes to enjoy their favourite footwear all year round.
We’ve now prepared a guide to assist you in choosing what to wear with your boots. Men have always warn sheepskin boots in Australia but until the last 2 years not many men were wearing them in Europe and the US. This has been one of the biggest changes to fashion this year with men now accounting for a very substantial portion of the sheepskin boot wearing crowd.
