Outdoor Sheepskin Boots
Snow Boots, Woolly boots, Australian Sheepskin boots, Cardy Boots, or whatever your preferred name for Snow Boots, there’s no denying that Sheepskin Boots are the latest craze in teen and adult fashion. You’ll probably end up wearing them more than your favourite pair of jeans, your hoodie and especially your Nike Airs!
So if you’re been living the life of a hermit and haven’t yet come across the Sheepskin phenomenon, here’s a run down on what this new form of footwear is all about.
In Australia, Australian’s have been wearing sheepskin Sheepskin Boots boots since the Brit’s threw them off the tall ships to build their new colony. Sheepskin’s are so common in Australia that attempts the trademark the term Snow Boots failed in Australia as it was descriptive of a type of boot and not a specific product.
Aussie’s love the outdoors, and despite the heat of the Australian desert, there are plenty of times of the year, and places in Australia where the warmth of natural sheepskin is a definate plus in the land downunder. Popular with the surfing crowd, the sight of a pair of Sheepskin Boots appearing from the side of a VW combi has been gracing the shores of Bell’s Beach since the 60′s. It was only a short journey across the pacific from Aussie beachwear to hollywood sheik-wear with female celebrity’s getting their womens Sheepskin Boots on such as Pamela Anderson, and magazine’s like Marie Clare, Teen Vogue and Cosmo featuring celebrity stars and starlets sporting the latest in sheepskin Sheepskin boot fashion. In recent times mens Snow Boots have come into the fray and are pretty common to be seen in the homes and on the streets of Los Angeles, New York and London.
