Quality New Zealand Made Sheepskin Boots in hot chocolate!
The perfect combination of style and comfort with all the hand crafted quality of our original Supertread boots. Crafted from supersoft twin-faced sheepskin in popular chocolate colour with a hard-wearing side-stitched, TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole. Spilled wool and lacing detail add style and distinction to this comfortable and practical boot.
The medium weight TPR sole makes the Artica a comfortable boot for both indoor and outdoor wearing – TPR combines the benefits of flexible, non-slip rubber with the lightness and durability of a plastic. The sole is molded for traction and includes a multilayered comfort system for added cushioning and support. The topmost layer is a removeable sheepskin innersole that can be replaced.
Plush, premium quality, twin-face sheepskin (a single piece of sheepskin with both sides processed to the highest standards - supple suede leather on the outside and cosy fleece on the inside) provides cushioning and insulation. The soft wool fibres of natural sheepskin are highly breathable and act as a natural insulator to keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable. Thick shearling wool inside, shorn to 5/8 of an inch (17mm), moulds to the shape of your foot creating natural arch support. The sheepskin is reinforced with calf suede on the heel and toe guard to add strength and hold shape.
With a growth in demand for Sheepskin Boots worldwide, there are now many cheaper boots available using suede with fur glued to the inside and cost cutting shortcuts in workmanship. Our Sheepskin boots are manufactured by Canterbury Sheepskin New Zealand using only select twin-faced skins from Australia and New Zealand.
All of our sheepskin boots have a suede finish. The Artica boot is between 36-38cm / 14-15 inches high (depending on size).
Please note: Dark colours may bleed if they get wet. This is natural. This is the same with all brands of black or chocolate sheepskin boots.
Sheepskin Boot Sizes
Boots should be snug fitting to start and will loosen up a bit with wearing.
Please use our Sheepskin Boot Size Charts - Word Document OR PDF to find you boot size as different parts of the world use different footwear sizing methods and the size you order from us may therefore differ from what you are used to ordering. The Size Chart above will help you find your own size and then check to see the correct size to order from us.
For example
- If you wear a UK Size 8, you would order a Size 8.
- If you wear a US Women’s Size 9, you would order a Size 7.
- If you wear a US Men’s Size 7, you would order a Size 6.
- If you wear a European Size 43, you would order a Size 9.
Boots are in Full Sizes If you are a half size, go down to the nearest size. For instance - if you are a 6 and 1/2 - then order the size 6. You can let us know your size in the comments box at "check out" if you are not sure.
It's a good idea to have extra inner soles / footbed on hand in case they get wet. It’s very convenient to change them and they are a reasonable price. You can also put in an extra inner soles / footbed to tighten them up a bit.
Cleaning Your Sheepskin Boots
Hand wash only. Do not use a washing machine.
Hand wash in warm water with a wool approved detergent.
Gently rub the upper surface with a sponge to remove stubborn marks. Do not rub aggressively as this could cause discolouration and roughen the surface.
Rinse in clean, cold water. Do not allow to soak.
Gently squeeze out any excess water.
Re-form the footwear and allow to dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heaters.
Once the footwear is dry, lightly buff the suede surface with a dry towel to restore the original nap.
