  • Hi all. Boots look really nice. Just to let you all know I just found the same boots (various styles) on Amazon for £18.99 with postage. I know that there will not be the Ugg cleaning kit with them, but still cheap. Sorry not sure how to show the link. I found putting in "Jumbuck boots" search. Hope that this helps someone. x:)

    That's really weird! I'm getting the "Free Gift" notification and it's added to my basket automatically today (had the short ones in my basket and hummed and hawed over it last night, so came back to it this afternoon).

    Haven't done anything different from yesterday :o

    Shearling and sheepskin is the same product, shearling is the correct term for 'sheepskin' and probably for marketing purposes it sells better working it as shearling. Basically when the sheep is skinned, the skin is removed with the wool attached and tanned. As such the wool on the skin is 100% wool, same as merino wool, it's 100% wool. Fake or imitation uggs tend to use a wool mix which has a significant amount of polyester, which basically removes the point of having wool, which cools you down during the hotter months and insulates the warmth in the colder months.

    I was getting confused Googling,it seemed to read that Shearling wasn't the same as Sheepskin.

    I got reply saying wont be charged for the kit even if it shows as full price- however those who are trying to cancel orders, I tried to cancel 2 of the 3 I tried yesterday and have had emails for both saying tough cacellation failed (one order was done at 11pm, I sent cancellation request at about 11.30pm and the cancellation failure email came in about an hour later- how it could have progressed to dispatch that quickly at that time of night I have no clue!)
    So looks like I'll be getting 3 pairs of the long button boots and 2 of the kits, b*gger!!!!

    Looking through my (very few) emails of orders from The Hut, it's a mixed bag. A few cancelled orders days afterwards, and a few successful ones. Suppose we'll just have to wait and see....

    My orders all say "Awaiting Despatch" which looks promising. I got myself, my sister and my little niece a pair :o
