There is nothing better on a cold winter morning than to slip into a pair of super comfy sheepskins. Actually, it’s not just cold winter mornings it’s also afternoons, evenings and at the end of a hard day.
Sheepskin boots should be a staple wardrobe item in every Australian home, especially across the bottom half. I always have a couple of pairs to keep me warm and cozy on those frosty mornings and icy nights. I honestly don’t think I’ll be needing any of my other pairs though, not since slipping my feet into a brand new pair of luxurious Canterbury Sheepskins.
I received my boots, courtesy of Canterbury Leather International Ltd, on Wednesday and it was love at first sight. The second they came out of the box they were unwrapped and on my feet… and that’s pretty much where they have stayed since.
Canterbury Sheepskins are made in New Zealand by Canterbury Leather International Ltd, a company established in 1974. They pride themselves on offering customers the ultimate in comfort, quality and design. Canterbury source premium hides to produce the highest quality hand crafted sheepskin boots and accessories.
Wool is a fibre unmatched in the world because of its unique ability to warm in winter and be cool in summer with the ability to absorb moisture without feeling wet.
Canterbury Sheepskins are made with specially reinforced heel supports and luxurious sheepskin insoles. They pride themselves on combining functionality with comfort which is what saw the development of the ‘The Sheepskin Wellingtons’; a PVC ankle boot with a lambskin insole and a sheepskin shaft offering nice dry feet when squelching in those early morning winter sports with the kids.
The boots that I am currently wearing, and in love with – destined to never be far from my feet – are the AVA, tall fashion boots boasting a genuine sheepskin upper with 15-17mm wool pile. There is an open top to allow folding down to create a wool collar which changes the look quite a lot for those who like to change up their footwear. The AVA also boasts a P.V.C side stitched NZ sole with feminine profile, suede leather heel guard, heat set and shaped heel support, heat keeper on inner sole of boot and a cushioned removable insole.
The AVA is available in sizes 3-9 and either Chestnut or Black.
There is a wide range of boots, slippers and other apparel, all of which can be viewed on the website at: http://shop.canterburyleather.com/

I’d love to win a pair of AVA Canterbury Sheepskin Boots. I love my Ugg slippers. They are a cheap knock off version and desperately need replacing. They are the first things I put on in the morning and the last things I take off at night. They are like fleecy cuddles for my feet.

Jack Frost is here. The pipes are frozen so there is no water let alone hot. My feet are so cold that they are numb.

I don’t care what colour they are. They will keep my tootsies warm then I will feel warm all over. Canterbury in N.Z .produces some of the best wool, sheepskin in the souther hemisphere. (Our woollen carpet in Parliament House in Canberra comes from N.Z.)

My $3 thin synthetic slippers have just died yesterday, there were lots of holes on the soles I could see the bottom of my feet through them. Would love to replace them with something very good quality, in natural fiber, that would last me a long time & wouldn’t embarrass me if a visitor were to drop-in unexpectedly at home.
Away with the chilblains
And my frozen blue toes
Canterbury Sheepskin – oh they know!
Boots for the winter – not just for show.
Little would they know that under all that fashionable style, I would actually be very comfortable!
My Husband is always Complaining about me rubbing my Cold feet on him so a Pair of these Boots would stop his Complaining By Keeping me Cozy.
I need some boots to keep my feet toasty warm this winter.
If I’m toasty warm I’m happy…if I’m cold I’m cranky. My family will love you if I win a pair of these boots.
Want to look fab and be warm at the same time,
Hoping these gorgeous boots will soon be all mine!
If my feet were cold at the time i go to bed then I won’t be able to fall asleep until they become warm, these sheepskin boots can keep my feet warm at all times.
Growing up in a tropical place, I find Sydney winter to be unbearably cold, especially when I get up in the morning, away from the warmth of my bed. Winning this means my feet will be warm even in the freezing morning as I prepare breakfast for the family. No more trembles and shivers.
I would really love a pair of real sheepskin boots instead of my smelly, old imitation boots I’m currently trotting around in. These are baa-ewe-tiful!!
I hate winter feeling cold if my feet are cold I get chilled to the bone these are perfect for me, they’ll keep me warm and stop the whining whimpering noise I make when I’m freezing

I have bad health these days and I hate the cold…..with a passion!!
I would absolutely love a pair of these rippers…cause once my feet are cold thats the end of me…:(

To keep my HANDS warm! When I’m freezing they’d keep my toes toasty but also my hands as they’re tall enough for me to curl forward in my chair and put my hands in my cosy Canterbury Sheepskin boots!
because they can be worn for both comfort and style. They can be worn with a casual outfit or can be worn with a smart trendy outfit – a super addition to any wardrobe
they look so comfortable and warm .My feet deserves nothing but the very best.
I love that these come up past the calf. My feet really feel the cold and it would warm my whole body up to have slippers with such length.
