point me in the direction of the best ugg boots
« on: May 25, 2012, 05:58:15 PM »
I blew my uggies out at the end of last winter (riding my crf450 of all things), now in need of some new ones. 

Anyone got any ideas of who makes good ones, they've gotta be 100% Aussie, no imported crap.  I need large size highish cut too and hard wearing for camping trips etc. 

I need to be able to wear them out to the pub, rsl, golf club and other fine dining establishments as well  8).

Love ya work  :cheers:

I go to a shop in Capalaba Park shopping centre called Skinny's. I think there's a shop in Mt Gravatt too. They have a good selection of ugg boots and other sheepskin products. Pretty sure mine are Aussie made and bonus for me is they go up to a size 15!

The perfect Aussie winter footwear, don't leave home with them on though.

We continue to buy ours from Two Sheep, which is an Organisation that provides employment for people with intellectual disabilities.

Discovered them on a trip to Dubbo a couple of years back and we are still wearing them.

People that we have recommended them to have been very happy.

Yep, my vote's for Emu as well. Same as you cootha, i blew out the uggies a few weeks ago, and as i live in em over winter and when camping, looked around for some replacements and found these. Rugged and well made, the sole is the best i've seen on a pair of uggies. I got the Outback Lo style. Bloody warm too.

We get ours from the Skin Thing near the Ettamogah pub (the one with the skins hanging over the fence just before the pub on the highway)
Bloody good quality and the sole is awesome.
My brother took a pair in that were way out of warranty with a cracked sole and they replaced no questions asked!!
Highly recommended

What the !!!! Why would folk in Brisbane have any knowledge of ugg boots ???

Don't think were I live I really need a pair.........and do not own a pair.

We would laugh at people wearing them in the street in Cooma when I lived there....as they passed

through on the way to the snow.

They are really for old folk in nursing homes aren't they ?

Mine lasted 3 years before I bothered to glue them back together.  Duct Tape was used as a clamp to hold while the glue dried as well.
