The UGG Boot, one of the 21st century trends, seen in Dublin, Ireland, Collage, 03/2010 – Enjoy the views!:)

Ugg boots (sometimes called uggs)[1] are unisex sheepskin boots, lined with wool on the inside and with a tanned outer surface. The UGG name and variants thereof have been brands since 1971,[citation needed] and in some countries the Ugg trademark is still upheld, but in Australia and New Zealand the trademark was removed from the registry and ugg is considered a generic name of a style of boot.

Ugg boots often have a synthetic sole, although this is not universal. Heights range from around the ankle to above the knee, they are available in a range of different colours as both slip-on and lace-up varieties, and they are produced by a number of manufacturers. The natural insulative properties of sheepskin gives thermostatic properties to the boots: the thick fleecy fibers on the inner part of the boots allow air to circulate and keep the feet at body temperature.[2] This means that ugg boots can be worn without socks even in relatively cold weather.

The ugg boot style is believed to have originated in Australia or New Zealand, although the exact date is uncertain—they have been, at different times, identified with pilots in World War I who are said to have worn them for warmth in unpressurized planes, shearers in rural Australia during the 1920s, surfers and competitive swimmers who wore them in the 1960s and 1970s for keeping warm while out of the water. In the early 2000s, they became a fashion trend in the United States, leading to increased global sales.[2]

UGG – NATION! Enjoy the trend, who sets the ladies in motion, one step at a time! Magic!:)

History

short ugg boots

tall ugg boots

There has been considerable dispute over the origins of the ugg boot style, with both Australia and New Zealand claiming to have been the originators of the footwear.[3] Nevertheless, it appears that the boots were used by aviators during World War I, who referred to them as "fug boots" (surmised to be a shortened form of "flying ugg boots"),[4] and that they were present in rural regions of Australia during the 1920s.[3] While it is not clear when manufacturing started, by 1933, ugg boots were being manufactured by Blue Mountains Ugg Boots,[5] and Mortels Sheepskin Factory were making the boots from the late 1950s.[4]

In the 1960s, ugg boots became a popular option for competitive surfers,[6] who used the boots to keep their feet warm after exiting from the surf.[7] It was surfing which helped popularise the boots outside of Australia and New Zealand, when surfer Brian Smith started selling the boots in the United States through the company Ugg Holdings, Inc. in 1979.[7] Later, ugg boots emerged as a fashion trend in the United States, with celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Pamela Anderson choosing to wear the boots, creating increased demand.[8][9] However, Pamela Anderson renounced ugg boots in 2007 upon realising that they were made from animal skin.[9]

The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used as generic terms for sheepskin boots in Australia and New Zealand since at least the 1970s,[1][6] although individual accounts have suggested that the terms (or variations thereof) were employed earlier. The 1970s saw the emergence of advertising using the names,[1] but Brian Smith has stated that the boots were referred to as "uggs" long before the word was trademarked (in 1971),[10] and Frank Mortel claims to have been making ugg boots under the "ugg" name since 1958.
