No, UGGS are suede, suede is manufactured, it does not come from animals. Your UGGS are entirely sythetic.
I have to disagree. The other day I was on the UGG website looking for evidence that they kill sheep. So I decided to online chat with a Customer Service Agent, I first asked her if UGGS are made out of sheepskin, she then said that they are made out of 100% sheepskin. Then I asked if you have to kill the sheep to make UGGS. Her answere was this: No of course not, our fur is animal byproduct, it does not come from animals. SEE??? if its 100% sheepskin how could it not come from animals?????
I don't think so, i think they just shear the wool off and the sew it to the boot. The other day I was on the UGG website looking for evidence that they kill sheep.
