Dispelling the ugg boot myths

Whooga ThermoFleece™ are definately not bad for your feet, however the fake synthetic ugg boots circulating the web and many discount stores are terrible for your feet. The synthetic materials don’t allow any air to circulate your feet causing moiture buildup and terrible odour. The smell typically indicates bacteria is already living in your boots. The reputation of genuine sheepskin boots has suffered by being linked to these fakes. Authentic sheepskin posses completely different properities by allowing your feet to breathe and actively cirulating air which removes moiture. For this reason medical rugs are made with sheepskin. Sheepskin increases blood flow and helps wounds heal faster.

The number of sites selling ripoff ugg boots has more than doubled over the past year. Literally hundreds of these sites appear prominently in Google and look very legitimate. This has turned into a major problem and many customers are suffering the consequences. Please do your research carefully! Does the site only accept Paypal or Western Union? (This is all Chinese business can accept) Is the site claiming to sell well known brands at ridiculously low prices? Is the site independently mentioned or reviewed? If you search for the websites address in google do you see happy customers, scam warnings or nothing at all? A well established and trusted business will have many independent reviews and feedback. Scams sites which come and go quickly are either virtually unheard of or generate horror stories. Our website and brand has been well reviewed by many independent fashion sources for many years. We have listed many of these reviews (and links to their websites and reviews) on our whooga reviews page.

They were, they’re not anymore. The largest ugg boot manufacturer (UGG Australia) is now an American owned public company which manufactures boots in China (Check the ‘Made in’ label). We’re not attacking them, they offer a competitive product but they are in no way Australian. We are Australian owned and operated. Our boots are manufactured in Australia and China depending upon demand. We employ independant quality checks on every pair to ensure you are receiving the very best value ugg boots money can buy.

This isn't entirely a myth, they should stretch only a very minor amount and if they fit perfectly they won't need to stretch at all. A large amount of stress would cause the boot to weaken and then your boots would tear.

Sheepskin is a beautifuly soft and supple leather, ugg boots were initially designed purely as feet warmers. There were no problems with this because the sheepskin is more than strong enough for average use. We're constantly finding ways to improve our stitching and durability however we still recommend that to get the maximum life out of them they should be worn as casual footwear and treated with care. If you must wear your boots in harsh conditions pay particular attention to wet weather in order to avoid staining.

Ugg Boots are actually excellent for all year round use. The climate here (in Australia) is many times hotter than the US and UK, and we wear ugg boots year round - even though our winters are still hotter than UK summers. We are a beach country and ugg boots were invented within our surfing culture as year-round boots.
