    .?
    you know that sheep were killed to make UGGS?
    Will u stop wearing them now?
    Do u feel sorry 4 the sheep?
    Do you have to really kill the poor sheep just to make a pair of UGG boots?
    The answer is YES. The sheep has to be slaughted to obtain their hide and fleece. Now once the sheepskin hides are taken from the sheep then the process of preparing the hide for manufacturers and ensuring the hides are up to export standard begins.
    Woolskins are usually preserved with salt prior to being processed by tanneries. At the tannery the skins are processed in large vessels called paddles which vary in capacity from 3000 to 15000 litres. In contrast to hide processing, in woolskin processing mechanical action is kept to a minimum in order to minimise felting of the wool. Rotating blades on the paddles move the skins slowly and gently, and processing is performed at much higher float ratios (typically 20-35 litres of water per skin) than are used in hide processing.
    Typically it takes about 10 working days for the skins to be tanned and finished ready to be cut into panels for ugg boots.
    UGG® Australia uses only the best quality sheepskin exclusively. Twin-faced sheepskin is used in many of our core products. A piece of twin-faced sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side, and the skin side

    The wool of genuine sheepskin is extremely dense (more-so than any synthetic), which provides for a more comfortable and durable material.
    Fleece breathes, wicks moisture away, and allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry.
    Sheepskin is naturally water resistant & therefore small amounts of moisture will not seep through or damage it.
    UGG® Australia sheepskin is naturally thermostatic & therefore will keep bare feet warm in temperatures as low as -30°F and cool in temperatures as high as 80°F (Sheepskin will naturally insulate by keeping feet warm in the winter & cool in the summer.)
    The sheep that we use have finer wool & cleaner skin

  • 4 Those Of U Who Own Uggs, Would U Change Ur Mind If U Knew They Killed Sheep 2 Make Them?

    After helping popularize UGGs, Pamela Anderson is now boycotting the boots after learning they’re made from real sheepskin.
    “I’m getting rid of our Uggs,” Anderson, 39, writes in her online diary.
    “I feel so guilty for that craze being started around Baywatch days – I used to wear them with my red swimsuit to keep warm – never realizing that they were SKIN!”
    It seems Anderson, 39, thought the boots’ woolly lining was attached to a synthetic backing. In fact, the boots are made from sheepskin with the fur intact. “I thought they were shaved kindly,” she writes.
    Thoughts?

  • Do You Like These Shoes??? Would They Fit Me?

    Posted on August 27th, 2009 admin 7 comments

    Do you like these EMU shoes? They are similar to the Ugg ones but cheaper. Also, if you look on the sizes they come in, they have size eight and nine. These are kids EMU shoes so why are the sizes so big. Is it a mistake? I am size eight so should I buy the kids shoes or invest in the more expensive adult ones. Are the sizes 8 and 9 the tiny infants shoes???http://www.konasports.com/emu-hayman-kid…

  • Which Jumping Boots Would Be Best? I Can’t Decide Between Eskadron Sheepskin Lined Or Veredus Open Fronts!!!?

    Posted on August 16th, 2009 admin 5 comments

    I have a 4 year old who will be starting to jump soon, and I had some boots for her, but my house was destroyed in a tornado, so they are gone! I can’t get the brand I had before, so I can’t decide between Eskadron Sheepskin lined open fronts and high ankle boots or Veredus open fronts and ankle boots. I just would like some feedback from people that have used one or the other, just to see which holds up better, protects better, and so on…
    And for those of you who feel the need to “help the less knowledgable” in our sport, I know what I’m doing… I know when to use boots and how to put them on, I am just very stuck on which brand with they’re slightly different features would give the best protection.
