An aside: For the purpose of discussion, we refer to "sheepskin" but in actual fact, we should be saying "lamb skin" as the actual skins used in the manufacture of both the brands of footwear mentioned above are in fact lamb skins. In addition, most real sheepskin jackets are actually of shearling or lamb skins. Lamb skins tend to be softer and of a higher quality.
