All sheepskin footwear comes in whole sizes and one width only.
For people that frequently wear half sizes, you will need to round
up or down to the nearest whole size, depending on the brand or
style. On this page, we have included guidelines for selecting the
proper size for each brand, when possible. Sheepskin footwear should
fit snugly when it is new. Eventually the fuzzy sheepskin on the
inside will mat down a small amount, creating a molded fit and causing
the footwear to loosen up a bit. The skin on the outside can stretch
out a little as well. This will occur more frequently in products
with a 100% sheepskin outer layer. There will be less stretching
if the outer layer is cowhide (as in some Chooka, Simple, and Emu
styles), or if it is covered with pigskin (like some Aussie Dogs).
For these two reasons, your sheepskin footwear products should start
off close-fitting and snug.
A note of caution, however: though your shoes or boots should initally
feel snug, you do not want to feel pressure points on your toes.
If your toes feel very tight and you are able to feel pressure points
when wearing your new footwear, it is probably too small. Keep this
in mind when you are determining what size is right for you. Also,
remember that sheepskin footwear is designed to be worn barefoot.
If you intend to wear socks, keep in mind that the recommended size
may fit more snugly and your feet may feel warmer.You can buy replacement
insoles for many of the styles, which can fluff up the sherling
on the inside under your feet, making them more snug. Sometimes
this can solve the problem if you wear a half size: if you feel
that you are between sizes, then you can round up to the larger
size and add an extra insole inside to take up some of the space.
Thick socks can be worn to take up some room as well. Note: Unisex
sizes are quoted in mens sizes, so unisex size 6 is equivalent to"mens
6" and "women's 7".

Acorn boots tend to be a little wide, but
still are snug. If you've tried Acorn slippers, you'll notice the boots are a little more snug because of the more firm comfort sole.
Aussie Dogs boots are made to fit to a person's actual
shoe size. For any half-size, round up to the next full
size. Their footwear is meant to fit snugly at first,
as the thick fleece surrounding the foot quickly compacts
to give more room.
Chookas tend to fit true
to size. Their boots can run a little wider when compared
to the other brands. In the case of dealing with a half
size, Chooka recommends that it is best to round down
to the nearest full size. While the boots will be snug
in the beginning, they will eventually stretch out a little
and form to your feet. They will become very comfortable,
but may take just a bit longer to break in since they
have an outer cowhide layer.

Sven recommends that you should generally
round up a size for their sheepskin boots.
The company uses a European sizing system since they are
based in Sweden. The rule of thumb is to add 31 to womens
American sizes. For example,
a woman who wears American size 8 should order a 39.

We recommend that women go with a smaller size than their normal size for the UGG "classic" model.
UGG footwear should be snug, but not
uncomfortable. Their footwear will give a bit as it molds
to your foot. UGG's products are designed to be worn barefoot
(as most sheepskin products are) to maximize the cushioning
and the proper warmth of the sheepskin. Their fleece footbed
will mold to the natural contours of your foot, creating
a personalized arch support.
Sizes generally run large in both length and width, especially
for "classic" styles.
A note about size variations
At SheepskinBootCentral.com, we will try our best to match your
order with the correct size. Due to the fact that UGGs are
made in Australia, New Zealand and China, the actual size
of the product may vary. We may adjust your order if we
see that you tried to order a half size. When this happens,
we will choose a whole size for you in an effort to match
the appropriate size depending on where the particular item
is from.
Tips for Specific Styles
Ultra Short/Tall, Sundace II,
Sundance Short, Classic Short, Classic Tall, Clogs, Slippers,
and the Adirondack Collection
Ugg Australia recommends that you select a size smaller than
your normal size for these styles, because these products
tend to be a half-size to a whole size too large and have
a tendency to fit loosely. If you wear a half-size you should
probably round down!
