Uggs are the world famous demi-season sheepskin footwear. Uggs are sewn with the smooth side out, and with warm fur inward. Real ugg boots perfectly protect from the cold, while preventing the legs from overheating due to the unique properties of merino sheep wool. These shoes are universal and suitable for both men and women, and have not lost their relevance for many years, remaining the favorite casual shoes of world celebrities.

History of occurrence

Despite the fact that ugg boots became known in our country only in the 2000s, the history of these warm boots goes back more than a dozen years.

It is difficult to say exactly when the first uggs began to be sewn, but it is known for sure that this happened in Australia and New Zealand, and this was mainly done by farmers and shepherds. The first models of such shoes were made by hand and looked rather sloppy. This is where the name uggs got its name - ugly boots, literally translated as "ugly boots".

Shoes got a new turn in their history thanks to ... surfing. Or rather, a fan of this sport, Shane Steadman. It was he who came up with the design of these boots familiar to us today. It is no coincidence that sheep wool was also chosen by him - after surfing, his legs were very cold from cold water and needed warmth. A few years later, Steadman trademarked his footwear, UGH-BOOTS.

However, how did uggs go beyond Australia and conquer the whole world? Here they were helped by another surfer - Brian Smith. In 1978, he brought several pairs for the first time and began selling these shoes in the United States. Soon he opened his own brand in the States, and called it "UGG Australia". Slowly boots began to gain popularity in America.

However, the real success for Uggs came in 1995, when both companies, along with their trademarks, were bought out by the Deckers Outdoor Corporation shoe company. After that, real fame came to Australian sheepskin shoes.

Uggs fell in love not only with American surfers, but also with Hollywood celebrities. Looking at their ugg-wearing idols from the screen, young people also wanted to get such stylish and comfortable shoes. Sarah Jessica Parker, Oprah Winfrey, Britney Spears began to confidently flaunt in Australian boots, involuntarily forcing the whole world to follow their example.

Features and Benefits

Today, ugg boots are produced not only by UGG Australia, but also by many other companies. Non-Australian shoes are more affordable, but lose out to Australian ones due to the synthetic materials from which they are made. This is the best option for warm boots for the winter. Natural fur not only perfectly retains heat, but also provides excellent air conduction, allowing the skin of the legs to "breathe", keeping the feet comfortable and dry. But talking about these qualities is only fair when applied to UGG Australia. Today, only this brand can boast of real ugg boots made from 100% sheep wool.

In addition, this type of shoe is very light and comfortable. Even the insole of these boots is made of fur, and, of course, this allows the feet to feel free and comfortable, which is important during long winter walks.

Thanks to the corrugated sole, the boots remain stable, which is better and more comfortable on slippery roads, which is also their important advantage.

Real UGG Australia also have a hard heel in their shoes. This protects the boots from premature wear and fixes the foot, which is especially important for those who do not have a perfect gait.

Ugg boots are pretty versatile shoes. It is easy to combine it with a down jacket of any length, with a short leather jacket or a sheepskin coat, with sports-style outerwear and even with a coat.

Models and styles

Today, ugg boots can be found in almost any height and color. However, the most popular models are ankle-length and slightly higher, but not reaching the knee. The classic color of ugg boots is beige. Despite this, the color range of Australian boots is incredibly rich, and you can choose any of their shades based on your personal preferences.

Not only colors are presented in a wide variety, but also options for finishing boots. To begin with, high ugg boots can be worn by arching their upper part outward. So the same pair of shoes will have different heights and look different depending on your mood.

In addition, there is a large selection of models with fur inserts on the outside - such uggs look interesting and expensive.

How many different options for the appearance of Australian boots! Women's ugg boots are decorated with rhinestones, embroidery, sequins, buckles, beads, embroidery and sequins! And this is only a small part of them. Models with knitted inserts look good, for example, a knitted pigtail top of the boot. Beautiful accessories on shoes can be large decorative buttons, leather tassels, suede fringe and even satin lacing.

Models made "under the skin", for example, snake, look unusual and stylish.And how do you like metallic shiny uggs, beautifully shimmering in the rays of the winter sun? Romantic young ladies will appreciate boots decorated with bows or a floral pattern. These shoes are great for those who not only want to protect themselves from the cold, but are also not afraid to experiment and like to be in the spotlight.

Gaining popularity and men's ugg boots. Such models are presented in soothing and versatile colors.

Of course, there is a large selection of models for the little ones. Despite the fact that ugg boots are universal, they are more often bought for girls than for boys. Children's boots, just like adults, delight the eye with a variety of colors and decor. Sheep wool will be an ideal option for children's shoes, due to its warming properties. In ugg boots, the child has no chance of catching a cold. Again, the point is in the universal properties of sheep's wool - after all, it is not without reason that sheepskin is actively used not only for boots, but also in the production of winter envelopes for babies.

How to choose uggs?

If you are determined to purchase original UGG Australia, you should be very careful, as fakes of the famous brand come across literally at every turn. So, pay attention to the following:

  • Appearance. Real sheep uggs consist of one layer, where the front part is the skin of the animal, and the inside is its wool. If you see a gap between the fur and the outside, then they are taken and connected separately, which means that you have a fake.
  • Fur inside the boot. Fluffy, thick and light - this is how it should be. Is the fur colored and smells strange? These uggs are not sheepskin!
  • Sole. Matte and flexible, quite high (1.3 cm), corrugated and always with the company logo in the middle - this is how it should look like in the original pair.
  • Package. Each pair of UGG Australia comes in a branded box with the brand's logo. The box should have a holographic sticker, and inside the box there will be inserts with thanks for the purchase and information about the product.

What to wear with uggs?

These shoes have long been successfully integrated into everyday style, so pairing them with your favorite clothes is not difficult. However, there are still small features of what Australian boots "like" and "dislike":

Ugg boots look best with elongated outerwear or short jackets to the waist, but a long floor-length coat runs the risk of looking ridiculous with these shoes.

They go great with skinny jeans and leggings. You can quite successfully combine ugg boots with a warm knitted dress above the knee and tight tights. Wide or heavily flared trousers, as well as a long dress or a dress made of too light material, unfortunately, will not be combined with this shoe.

Uggs love casual style, or, in other words, calm and familiar everyday clothes. An expensive fur coat or a fur vest will not suit them, but with a simple basic down jacket, a straight-cut coat or a short jacket, they will look good.

Don't forget about moderation. If you have chosen a bright and decorated model of boots, you should not also wear accessories with rhinestones and outerwear with a flashy pattern. Shoes will already become a very noticeable accent in your image, and by adding something else, you risk getting a vulgar look.On the contrary, having settled on a simple model of the base color of your boots, you can safely complement it with outerwear in your favorite bright color.

How to care for Uggs

Despite their practicality and functionality, there are things that sheep boots are afraid of. Moisture is one of them. Before leaving the house for the first time in new shoes, first apply a water-repellent spray to them. Try to wear uggs only in dry weather. You should be especially wary of wet sections of the road sprinkled with a chemical reagent, it can easily leave stains on your boots, even after drying.

Since uggs cannot be wet, therefore, they cannot be washed. This is another reason why you should wear them in the right weather (so you don't have to clean them up later). If the ugg boots are still dirty, take a stiff brush and gently rub the already dried dirt.

If, despite all your efforts, your uggs still get wet, do not dry them on a radiator, near hot electrical appliances or with a stream of hot air. So they are deformed and will become worse in the future to retain heat. Put them in a warm place and wait patiently for them to dry on their own.
