Mention sheepskin boots and you’ll get images of heavy boots being lugged around. That may have been the image of yesteryear, but today sheepskin boots come in the trendiest and flattering styles available. Nowadays even the celebrities are sporting these designer sheepskin boots.

Remember Pamela Anderson in Baywatch? She wore sheepskin boots too alongside her strikingly sexy swimsuit in most of the episodes if I’m not mistaken. If the celebrities are wearing them, don’t you think it says something about these sheepskin boots? If the celebrities are wearing them, you know that it's the hottest thing right now.

Amongst all the best sheepskin boots out there, one of the most sought after sheepskin boot lines come from Emu Australia sheepskin boots that utilises premium quality sheepskin and the best quality wool.

Emu Australia had its beginnings in 1994. Before that, in the 70s, their parent company, Jackson’s were supplying sheepskin to surfers in the Surf Coast. These surfers would use the sheepskin to hand make surf boots. A few years later, Jackson’s started subcontracting shoemakers to make improved versions of the surfer’s sheepskin boots. In 1980, through a partnership, Jackson’s started supplying sheepskin boots in the US. And that was the beginning of the brand called ‘Ugg’. To facilitate with the production and supply of the sheepskin boots in US, Jackson’s established a new footwear facility in Geelong which till now houses the head office of Emu Australia. Geelong by the way is where the finest quality wool is grown.

Emu sheepskin boots are made using the finest sheepskin and wool available. Wool is a great insulator, and has the ability to let your skin breathe as it allows water vapour to come in while retaining water out. This means that the wool fibres breathe naturally while ‘wicking’ away moisture.

The best thing about the Emu sheepskin boots is that it is made from all natural strictly Australian sheepskin. They are not mixed with other types of material, or made from sheepskin from other inferior breeds from other places. The sheepskin used is called the Border Lester/ Merino cross sheepskin and these come from Victoria, Australia. The sheepskin is unique as it has a dense plush pile, which will help keep your feet warm in winter and cool in summer.

Look closely at the boots and you will find that the seams are double stitched for added strength. For greater and better fit and support, the boots have been designed with moulded suede leather heel cups. To complete the look of the sheepskin boots, Emu has added new removable contoured sheepskin insole with arch support. These will definitely be great for your feet!

The sheepskin also helps ‘wick’ away up to 70% of the moisture from your feet, thus eliminating unpleasant odours. The Emu sheepskin boots can also form to your feet. This means that after a few wears in the right fit, your boots give you a perfect comfortable fit. For the soles, Emu has equipped the sheepskin boots with a traction-enhanced, dual density EVA outsole finishes. These will add to your comfort and extend the boots’ durability. To top it all off, there is the premium embossed leather and suede branding which lets you know that you have the genuine Emu sheepskin boots in your hands.

The followings are the top three Emu sheepskin boots which in my opinion are the hottest styles.

The first is the Emu Australia Stinger Hi Sheepskin Boots. Full sheepskin leather upper lined with gorgeous furry sheepskin, this is highly recommended, and looks especially good with casual winter clothing. Imagine wearing a pair of soft denim jeans, topped with a luxurious sweater and completing the look with these Stinger Hi sheepskin boots. Perfect!

My second pick is the Emu Australia Women’s High Hip Boot. Accented by a ribbon and a long shaft, these knee-high boots are ultra sexy. The flap can easily be worn up or down. If the ribbon is not your style, it can be cut without damaging the boots. My advice is to leave them be and use them as they’re meant to be used. Paired with a mini skirt, the boots look fantastic. What could be hotter than that?

My third pick would have to be the Emu Australia Women’s Bronte Hi Boot. These boots would definitely look great paired with a short skirt or short denim jeans. Similar looking to the Stinger, the difference with these boots lies in the slightly pointed foot. These are great casual sheepskin boots that you can wear at anytime.
