LAMO Footwear is headquartered in Southern California, just outside the city of Los Angeles. We live in downtown and on the beach, and when it comes to the look and feel of our footwear, it's easy to see a strong California influence. The LAMO lifestyle look is relaxed, comfortable ~ yet with an edge and a definite eye for the trend. Nothing says 'relaxed comfort' like sheepskin boots. And while Australia is the birthplace of the sheepskin boot, California was where they were put on the map.
Be it street wear or slippers, there is nothing more comfortable than sheepskin lined footwear. And yes, even in summer, because sheepskin has the unique ability to absorb heat. It's like climate control for your feet!
Sheepskin is a very unique and versatile material. It has a low heat exchange rate, which means it is not easily affected by outside temperatures. Sheepskin also absorbs moisture twice as well as cotton. The moisture then circulates through the fur, eventually evaporating completely, allowing the product to remain dry. The molecular construction of sheepskin also helps it reject dirt particles and keep itself clean. All the advantages of using high quality sheepskin are what make Lamo shoes and slippers comfortable, durable and easy to clean.
The secret to sheepskin footwear lies in using the right kind of sheepskin, which is from Australian Merino sheep. LAMO is proud to exclusively use only premium quality Australian sheepskins and Australian Merino wool.
