Fitting Instructions

Our Shushu boots are unisex and sized according to UK sizing.

They are true to size, so we recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If one wears a half size, we recommend taking a size higher.

When new, your boots will feel snug - this is intentional. The fit will naturally relax after a few wears as the sheepskin wool flattens and the suede gently stretches, moulding perfectly to your feet.

If you're in Johannesburg and would like to try on a pair before purchasing, you're welcome to visit us at Riverclub, Sandton. Please contact us to arrange a convenient time.

Care Suggestions

* Gently brush away dust and dirt with a soft-bristled brush.

* Spot clean the wool and suede by hand using lukewarm water and a liquid wool detergent.

Every Name Has a Story

Inspired by farm life in the Eastern Cape - where crisp winters were softened by the natural warmth of sheepskin - our founder, Hazel Hoole, chose the name Shushu, the Xhosa word for ''hot'' for these warm and stylish boots.

Crafted from genuine sheepskin, the Shushu Boot wraps your feet in the same natural warmth and comfort that once carried her through cold farm mornings - a timeless blend of simplicity, beauty, and South African soul.
