Ugg Boot History
The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used in Australia as generic terms for sheepskin boots since the middle of the twentieth century. The name may be derived from the term ‘ugly’ boots coined by surfers and swimmers who wore the boots to keep their feet warm while out of the water. Ugg boots have a wool lining and a tanned outer surface, usually with a synthetic sole.
Ugg® Australia is a brand of ugg boots owned by the American company Deckers Outdoor Corporation and manufactured in China. In Australia the words ugg, ug and ugh remain as generic terms for sheepskin boots. More information can be found on Wikipedia. There are many other brands of sheepskin boot available, many of which are manufactured in Australia and New Zealand.

In Perth, the largest city on Australia's west coast, sheepskin ugg boots were being manufactured by several small companies by the 1970s. Perth has a similar climate to that of southern California and is also a haven for surfers. It was these surfers who first adopted ugg or ug boots as their footwear of choice and made them into iconic boots representing the laid-back surfer lifestyle.
The popularity of sheepskin ugg boots gradually spread to the east coast of Australia and it was then discovered that ug boots were just as practical and comfortable to wear in ski resorts as they were on sandy beaches. The southern Californian surfers were soon introduced to the delights of ug boots and they quickly became a cult fashion item in LA.
Sheepskin ugg boots now appear on the street as often as they do on the beach or in a ski resort. Popular with celebrities, ug boots are widely available throughout the world and are worn with everything from shorts and trousers to skirts and dresses. There are many styles and colours of ugg boot available.
The best quality ugg boots are made with 100% merino sheepskin. Cheap imitations and look-alikes are available but they don't have the properties of real sheepskin ug boots and won't perform as well as the real thing. Always buy your ugg boots from a reputable ug boot supplier.
