A cold surf session in Victoria, Australia is the reason Emu Australia's sheepskin boots exist at all, something warm to put wet feet into afterwards, back in 1948. We stock Emu Australia at Shirley Allum in Shaftesbury, across sheepskin slippers, boots and mules, most lined in genuine merino.
The sheepskin lining is the whole point: it insulates in winter, breathes in summer, and moulds to the shape of your foot over time in a way synthetic linings never quite manage. Styles run from scuff mules to ankle boots, most with a durable rubber sole underneath.
The brand began life as Jackson's Tannery, founded in Geelong in 1948 as one of the original sheepskin boot makers, and Emu Australia went on to develop the first water-resistant sheepskin boot.
A pair like this earns its place by the back door for the school run and stays there through the coldest months, not just for a season.
Try a pair on at the Shaftesbury boutique, or shop Emu Australia online and filter by style.
