Give the Gift of Comfort with Australian Sheepskin Moccasins
If you’re stuck for a gift idea, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Australian sheepskin moccasins. They’re cosy, long-lasting, and suit just about anyone. Made from real sheepskin, they’re built for everyday comfort — the kind of gift that feels good to give and even better to receive.
And honestly, they’re not just for gifting. Everyone should have a pair in their wardrobe. They’re soft, breathable, and made to last, perfect for slow mornings at home or ducking out to grab a coffee.
At Yellow Earth, we’ve been making and selling moccasins for over 30 years, and they’ve stayed an Aussie favourite for good reason. Each pair is handmade from 100% genuine sheepskin, offering warmth, comfort, and timeless style that never goes out of fashion.
Moccasins vs. Slippers: What’s the Difference?
While both are made for comfort, there’s a small difference in design. Slippers (like our Women’s Scuffs and Men’s Scuffs) have an open heel, so they’re easy to slip on and off. They’re great for quick trips around the house or when you just want to slide into something soft.
Moccasins, on the other hand, give you full coverage that hugs your feet all around. They’re a true Australian classic — warm, snug, and seriously comfy.
Some might say they look a bit bogan, but who cares when they feel this good? Once you try them, you’ll understand why Aussies have been wearing them for decades. Comfort beats fashion rules any day, and a style that’s lasted this long can’t be wrong.
Can You Wear Moccasins Outside?
Plenty of people do. While moccasins are mainly designed for indoors, some of our customers wear them outdoors for quick errands to get the mail and rubbish, walking the dog, or relaxing on the patio. If you’re planning to wear them out and about, just give them a bit of protection with our Sheepskin Care Kit. It helps repel water and keeps the suede leather looking fresh.
Are Moccasins Waterproof or Durable?
Sheepskin moccasins are water-resistant but not waterproof. They’ll handle a little moisture but prefer to stay away from puddles and heavy rain. When properly cared for, they’re impressively durable, and many of our customers say theirs have lasted for years with barely any wear.
To keep them looking their best, use our Sheepskin Care Kit. It adds extra water resistance and helps maintain the softness and look of the leather for longer.
Are Moccasins Quiet?
Yes. The soft sheepskin sole absorbs sound, making them perfect for late-night kitchen trips or sneaking around while everyone’s asleep. Flat-sole moccasins are the quietest option if that’s a must for you.
Are Moccasins Unisex?
Absolutely. Our moccasins range from size 5 to 15 and suit both men and women. The fit is true to size, and the natural sheepskin moulds to your feet over time for a personalised feel. Don’t forget, moccasins will stretch about half a size so if you’re in between sizes, go the half size down. Read the size chart found on the product page for more info on choosing the right fit.
Colour and Style Options
Our moccasins come in a wide range of colours — from classic Chestnut and Sand to deeper shades like Navy and Charcoal. We even have fun tones like Pink and Burgundy for something different. You can also choose between the traditional sole (about 1cm thick for more structure with a raised heel) or the thin crêpe-like sole, which bends easily and feels softer underfoot.
No matter your style, you’ll find the perfect fit. We’ve sold over 20,000 pairs through the years, and our customers consistently leave 5-star reviews praising the comfort, quality, and longevity. Here’s what our customers have to say:

A Gift That’s Always Appreciated
Moccasins make an excellent gift for any occasion — Christmas, birthdays, or even just because. They’re thoughtful, practical, and a little bit luxurious. If you’re shopping for someone hard to buy for, this is one of those rare gifts that everyone appreciates but would never think of! They are also well priced and won’t break the bank.
We also offer other great gift ideas made from natural fibres, including possum and merino wool accessories like scarves, gloves, ponchos, and coats. They’re perfect for anyone who loves quality and comfort.
