Ugg boots originated in Australia and New Zealand and got their name because Australians found them "ugly". Originally they wouldn't have been worn outside, much less as a fashion statement, but the trend caught on started by surfers in the 1970's that used them to keep their feet cozy after a ride on the waves. Because of this they became a symbol of the Australian surfing style and with that they began to catch on around the world.

Ugg boots are known for their comfort and are made with Australian Merino Sheepskin, which makes them fit snugly and feel very soft. Even though Ugg boots may feel likes socks on your feet, rather than shoes, they are still rugged for outdoor use. The sheepskin lining inside these boots not only keeps your feet warm in the cold winter months, but they also help keep your feet cool in the summer, as the perspiration from your feet is lost in them due to the natural fibers of the lining.

Ugg boots are popular among celebrities. Just some of thes Ugg fans include actresses Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and even singer turned actress Madonna can be seen wearing her Ugg boots. Even TV talk show mogul Oprah Winfrey is a fan of those comfy Uggs boots.

Ugg boots come in various styles for men, women and children. If you'd rather your Uggs be smooth and shiny instead of velvety, they have that style for you. They even have very cool crochet look Uggs and Cardigan style Uggs for women. Colors vary in natural tones of browns and grays, and sometimes even off colors, including pinks.
