[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 326082, member: 4085"] Trinity I just googled "ugg boots sydney" and got a huge number of hits. With no real preference I just went to the first 'hit' I got and checked the price for the boots Marg was describing at A$175.00 (which is about US$150 or CAD$164). Add in an unreasonable freight charge (let's say $75) and you're still getting them for LOTS less than US$400. Aussies got REALLY ticked off (I want to use stronger language but the site censor won't let me say what I really think) when that Yank company registered the trade name over there AND tried to shut down our local manufacturers who INVENTED the flaming things! I've just checked the brand we usually buy from (for no better reason than they have an outlet in out local mall) Golden Fleece Sheepskin. They don't seem to do international orders but get around the controversy by, mostly, calling them 'sheepskin boots'. They seem to cost a bit more too, a bit over A$200. Marg's Man Quick PS When you mob say 10 below to describe cold, what do you mean? I'm guessing you mean 10 degrees Fahrenheit below freezing(?) ie 22 degrees Fahrenheit or do you mean -10 degrees Fahrenheit? [/QUOTE]
