Mortels® Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots are a unique and sustainable footwear choice that's as individual as you are. Crafted from the off-cuts of our sheepskin footwear manufacturing, these sheepskin boots are made with the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship as our other footwear styles. 

Here's why Mortels® Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots are a one-of-a-kind option:

·       Unpredictable Beauty: Each pair of Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots is a surprise waiting to be unwrapped. We refer to them as our "factory 2nds" because they're made from the second cut of our Australian sheepskins, resulting in an array of colours and combinations. No two pairs are ever the same, making them truly unique.

·       Lucky Dip for Colour: Think of Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots as a delightful lucky dip for colour. While photos provide a general idea, the colour combination you receive will be a pleasant surprise. If you love variety and spontaneity, these boots are perfect for you. If you are fussy then these may not be for you.

·       Fashionable and Sustainable: The sheepskin component of Funky coloured Bitzas may feature some of the following colours; Pink, Purple, Teal, Tomato, Tangerine, Royal Blue, Amethyst, Country Blue, Sand and limited edition (Including paisley print) or shimmery colours. This fashion-forward approach is not only stylish but also sustainable, as it minimizes waste.

·       Artistic Craftsmanship: Binding, thread, and heel suede colours are chosen by our skilled craftspeople, resulting in tasteful, colourful, and sometimes shimmery combinations. It's like wearing a work of art on your feet.

·       Quality Guarantee: Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots are part of our waste-minimizing and sustainable products initiative. They may have slight natural blemishes or imperfections, such as seed spots or skin tags. However, these do not compromise their durability or quality. While some may find these imperfections less aesthetically pleasing, they are simply the natural characteristics of the materials used.

“Can I choose my own colour combination?” No. We will take into consideration in your notes if you love, or want to avoid, any particular colour/s but no guarantees we will have your exact colour preferences.

HALF SIZE?

Women:

·       If you usually wear a half size, it's best to go down to the nearest whole size (e.g., from 7.5 to 7). However, if you have particularly wide feet or thick ankles, consider going up to the next whole size for a better fit.

Men:

·       If you typically wear a half size, we suggest going up to the nearest whole size (e.g., from 10.5 to 11). But, if you have very narrow feet, it's a good idea to size down to the nearest whole size for the best fit (e.g., from 9.5 to 9).

Mortels® Bitza Australian Sheepskin Boots are a fantastic blend of sustainability, uniqueness, and quality. They're an excellent choice for those who appreciate individuality and want to support a sustainable initiative. Embrace the element of surprise and celebrate the beauty of imperfections with these extraordinary boots. Don't miss the opportunity to own a pair that's not just fashionable but also environmentally conscious.

Quick size check. Order your usual shoe size, it’s that simple. As the manufacturer we pattern the boots with consideration and allowance for both the wool pile and stretch factor so you don’t need to guess which size. If unsure of your sizing check a label inside your sport shoes/sneakers or casual shoes and use the conversion charts below if need be. If you are a half size, check the individual style for recommendation to opt up or down to the whole size.

In our product listings, W means women, M means men, K means kids, and Y means youth.

Our size charts and measuring instructions do not take into consideration feet disorders or any diseases which affect the feet. All our sizing information is geared towards just regular feet that fit into regular shoes that can be purchased from any regular store. If you do have any medical condition which affect your feet, or your feet have considerable sensitivities, or you have trouble buying regular shoes from a regular store, please contact us for recommendations for UGG boots or Slippers that may be best suited for your feet.

Determine your size:

If unsure of size, please follow these steps to determine your size:

1. Tape a sheet of paper to the floor, flush against the wall. Stand up straight on the sheet of paper with your heel up against the wall.
2. Place a mark on the paper at the longest part of your foot. Repeat with the other foot, as right and left sizes may be different.
3. Measure the heel (edge of paper)-to-toe length you marked for each foot.
4. Taking the longest measurement (foot), use the conversion chart ABOVE to find your correct size.

Foot Notes:

• Centimetre measurements are actual foot length not shoe sole length
• Sizing Charts are indicative of foot length but doesn't allow for various foot and leg widths, high insteps, and any feet disorders.
• Regular UGG boots and Slippers are usually suitable up to an E fitting because of the stretch nature of sheepskin. However, if you are D or E fitting and your actual foot measurement indicates a smaller size than what you normally purchase in regular shoes, then it is best you order UGGs or slippers based on your regular shoe size, not order based on your foot length measurement.
• No returns of incorrect size will be accepted once footwear has been worn and stretched.
• Be sure NOT to choose a larger size for fear of the ugg being too small - your footwear should be firm fitting (but not too tight) when you receive them. Sheepskin will stretch and the wool pile will flatten and shape around your foot, giving a cosy, snugg fit. If they are too loose, as they wear in, they may become too roomy.
• Larger Youth sizing overlaps with Adult sizing so our footwear is priced according to the size of the footwear, NOT priced for child or adult.
