Australia's Official Dictionary: The Macquarie Concise Dictionary describes "Ugg Boot" as follows – "ug boot / Australian 100% merino sheepskin lined boot. Also called ugh boot , ugg boot". So, "UGG" is not a brand name in Australia, but an age old generic term for this style of Australian Made sheepskin boot.

Our genuine sheepskin footwear is resilient to the basic elements, but if they do get very wet you need to let them dry in a shaded area away from the sun and rain. Our sheepskin boots are not waterproofed when you receive them, so they won't withstand rain or snow for very long. Using waterproofing spray such as Sheepskin Water & Oil Repellent can help protect the boots from the harsh elements. The first time this coating is applied should ideally be when the footwear is new.

The product colours on this site are representational only. Actual colours on finished products may vary from those displayed. Sheepskin is a natural product and colours of different pairs of boots may vary slightly in dye penetration from time to time according to the lanolin content within individual skins.
The darker colours may transfer some dye to the feet for some time at the beginning of wearing the new boots.

Wet entire boot or shoe with cold water. Sheepskin Shampoo & Conditioner to a clean sponge or soft brush. Clean entire area thoroughly and evenly. Once you have washed and rinsed the footwear in cold water, place them in your washing machine and put it on a spin cycle for a few minutes just to get rid of the excess water. Reshape by stuffing with paper towel. Allow to dry naturally and slowly - DO NOT dry in direct heat or sunlight. You will notice once the footwear have dried that they have shrunk slightly but this is normal. After wearing them for an hour or so, they will go back to the normal, warm and comfortable state you are used to.
Please remember:
DO NOT SOAK if possible
DO NOT USE FABRIC CONDITIONER
DO NOT USE ANY ARTIFICIAL HEAT TO DRY
DO NOT DRY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT
DO NOT DRY CLEAN
To remove grease stains you can sprinkle white chalk powder over the stain and leave it for a few minutes. Blow away the excess chalk and gently rub the stain with your hand. You can repeat this a few times until the stain has almost disappeared. If the stain is particularly stubborn you could try gently rubbing it with sandpaper but be aware that this could also remove the colour.
Spotting can occur if the boots come into contact with droplets of water. This can usually be removed by folding the boot onto itself (skin against skin) and gently rubbing it together.
