The term “Ugg Boot” originally refers to a style of boot made in Australian from sheepskin. During the early 1930’s these boots were worn by the farmers, and by the 1960’s another version was now being worn surfers. However, after a period of time more and more Australians could be found wearing these boots around the house during the winter months due to how comfortable and warm they were.



You will find that there are still several companies in Australia who manufacture the Ugg Boot; however a manufacturer in the US is the company that has the trademark for “Ugg”. Unfortunately this has meant that a lot of the Australian companies who would originally marketed their boots as “Ugg boots” are now marketing them as “Australian Sheepskin Boots”.

But it does not matter whether you call them Ugg or sheepskin boots both styles are incredibly warm and soft and have been a massive fashion hit with everybody over the last few years.

The benefit of these boots is not only are they warm and comfortable, but they also come in a variety of colours, heights and styles. Plus there are different versions for men and women and now you will even find there are styles for children as well. So anyone both young and old can wear these boots.

Although many people are wearing these boots at anytime of year, they were specifically designed for when the weather is colder because they retain heat due to the use of sheepskin. However, if you want to ensure that your boots last then make sure that you care for them well and don’t when ever possible wear them when the weather is very wet.

As a fashion statement these boots have certainly made their mark across the world and you will see a lot of women and girls either wearing them with a pair of jeans or just to make them look that little bit more feminine with a short skirt and a pair of opaque tights. But no matter how they wear them you could be sure that your feet will warm and comfortable.

However, if you’re a guy then we suggest that you wear them with jeans and a good shirt will help to give you a casual but rugged look.
