Origin of Ugg Boots

Ugg boots first came into existence about 30 years ago. The name has several different origins depending on who you talk to. 

It is generally accepted as being developed by Australian surfers (though many have laid claim to being the first developer). Ugg Boots have been a big part of the Australian lifestyle for over 30 years and have developed to such an extent where Ugg Boots are widely considered a must have for any fashionable wardrobe.

Origin of the name

Some people say the name "ugg" (or ug/ugh) came about because Australian's tend to be lazy with words and boots that "hug your feet" (the sheepskin of an Ugg Boot molds its shape to your foot) soon became boots that "ug your feet"!

Another tale is that they are called "uggs" because they are ugly.

Thus "ugg boots".

With the great versatility of sheepskin, Ugg Boots have gradually moved from surfers to skiers to mainstream.
