The Story of UGG Boots

UGG Boots offer comfort, practicality, and warmth. UGG Boots are a sheepskin boot with a woolly inner and a suede outer hide. This style was first manufactured in Australia and New Zealand, as a boot well suited to the variable temperatures and available natural resources of these regions. They are well suited to cool weather, yet still comfortable in warmer temperatures and appropriate for barefoot wear. The soft inner has made them popular with people of all ages, both young and old. Comfort and hard wearing durability made sheepskin boots a good choice for hard workers and those in need of warmth, but their softness and ease of wearing have made this anti-fashion statement stylish.  

The interior of an UGG Boot is soft, natural, and very breathable wool. Wool is naturally antibacterial and comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. Sheepskin boots are meant to be worn without socks to maximize the natural warmth and comfort of these boots. Be certain to look for authentic UGG Boots to avoid the risk of fake sheepskin that will leave your feet sweaty and cold. The tanned hide exterior of UGG Boots offers natural water repellency that is practical both for country life and city life. They are not ideal for heavy snow or mud, due to lack of ease of cleaning. These boots are just as suited to a movie set as they are to a farm, and with comfort, ease of wear, and good support, it’s no wonder at all that more and more people are opting for UGG Boots.  

Your UGG Boots can be cleaned with cold water, but do allow them to dry away from a heat source. They cannot be machine washed, as this will permanently damage the sheepskin and glues. With careful care, your sheepskin boots should provide you with warmth and cosiness for years to come. 

It is thought that the name UGG Boots originated as a shortened form of “ugly”, and these boots date back to at least WWI, when Australian pilots wore them. In the 1960’s, surfers in need of something warm, breathable and convenient wore UGG Boots. In the 1990’s, UGG Boots became popular in Hollywood, and in fact, around the world. Today, the UGG Boot collections extend well beyond just basic boots. A wide variety of sheepskin items are available both as attire, home accessories and other items. Many colours and styles are available. UGG Boots are available for men, women, and even children. From the city to the country, your UGG Boots can keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable.
