Ugg boots are very popular and many people absolutely love wearing ugg boots.  Ugg boots have been popular for many years and in fact they have been made for over two hundred years.  Ugg boots are made of one hundred percent Australian natural sheepskin and they truly offer a wonderful array of comfort for the feet.

Today the Ugg boot is known as Uggs or Ugg boots because of a trademark name and a company that makes them.  However for many, many years Uggs have been known by that name in Australia because that was a nickname for them.  The company played that fact up and took the Ugg boot name so people would already know the name.   There was actually a lawsuit and a fight over the name of Uggs.  The company tried to copy write the phase Ugg and not allow anyone else to ever use it again.  They lost that battle as a court ruled that the phrase had been around for years and many people still used it.  This allowed many of the smaller shops that used the phrase ugg to continue to use it and also allowed the large company to use the same phrase.

Now some may ask why the Ugg boot is called ugg and the reason is very simple indeed.   The ugg boot is just short for ugly.   The boot is not attractive at all and so it was dubbed ugg or ugh boot.  However what that original boot lacks in beauty it certainly makes up for in comfort.  The ugg boot is probably the most comfortable boot that there was ever made.  This ugg boot can keep your foot warm and dry when it is cold outside and it will also keep your foot cool when it is hot outside.  Not to mention that it feels like you are walking on clouds when you wear them.  The way this works is simple.  The natural fibers will trap your body heat in the boot when it is cold out side and that makes them able to keep your feet warm.  Also when it is hot outside and you need to be cooler the same natural fibers will whisk away the sweat and keep your feet cool.

Now to be sure that you understand the history of the Ugg boot you must of course know about the involvement of the Australian surfers or “surfies”.  The Ugg boot was adopted in the early 1970’s by the Australian surfers near Perth as many of the small surf shops manufactured these ugg boots for their stores.  In this surfer haven it was easy to see that the popularity of the ugg boot would grow and grow it did.  The surfies soon adopted the ugg as their favorite footwear and began wearing them all of the time.

From the shores of Australia the uggs soon found their way to all corners of the world.  The Australian surfers would travel around the world searching for the next great wave and with them they would bring their Uggs.  In this manner the ugg found itself on the feet of other surfers all over the world.  From this point it was just a matter of time before the ugg and its popularity grew to what it is today.

So many people love their ugg boots and would never give them up.  They are the perfect type of footwear and so many people truly must wear these all of the time.  Depending on the climate of the area in which you live will usually determine how often you will really wear your uggs but many people prefer to wear them all of the time.
