Men in Sheepskin Boots
Since the ugg phenomena hit the UK I have been wearing sheepskin boots and getting taunted by my peers. Is this right?
Everywhere you look, be it in Heat magazine or the Sun you will see celebrities wearing the latest sheepskin fashion boots. So why is it OK for the ladies to look Chic and yet still keep their tootsies warm whereas us chaps have to stick to trainers?
It is now 5 years since I first slipped on a set of sheepskin boots and from the moment my toes hit the insides I was in love with them. I have since moved to the Alps where you would think that the cold conditions and the excessive strain of a days snowboarding on your feet would lend to a more favourable opinion from the boys. Oh no.
Now admittedly I tend to wear my boots around the house as a high class slipper, or when I take off my snowboard boots at the bottom of the slopes and drive back home. Now yesterday, be it lazy or be it a more daring move, I wore them out to the supermarket to fetch my dinner. Lo and behold I bumped into the snowboard crew only for them to look down at my feet and the taunting started.
Now it’s a good job that I couldn’t give a hoot what other people think of me, so long as my feet are warm, I’m a happy man.
The question I am posing though is what can we do to promote the sheepskin phenomena into the male market force?

What’s the difference between cow skin and sheepskin boots?
I am looking at boots and I am wondering what is the difference in appearance? Could you tell I was wearing cow skin vs. sheepskin?
-Thanks
ONE COMES FROM A COW AND THE OTHER COMES FROM A SHEEP.
DUH.
i believe you can tell the difference because you can faintly hear the cow still mooing…

texture.

the only big difference is that cow skin, is tougher looking
while sheep skin has the more delicate look, ( which is also why cow skin is perferred sometimes because it doesn’t get damaged as easily)

wow…
thats pretty sad.
sheep skin is like furry and soft,
cow skin i kinda rough feeelingg
just think about it, hon.

Cow hide is thicker and heavier therefore more durable. Sheepskin is softer. if they are "skin" they would still have the wool and hair, if they are "hide" it would depend on the craftsmanship as to "whether" the average person could tell the difference
