Ugg boots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UGG is a registered trademark in the United States, Europe and a 100+ countries for a brand of sheepskin boots and other footwear. The Ugg brand is owned by Deckers Outdoor Corp. a United States Company. There are some disputes within Australia, as noted below. The UGG brand is best known for its "Classic" sheepskin boots with a wool inner lining and a tanned outer surface worn
by both
men and women.
In the Arctic and China, sheepskin boots have long be
en popular with people in rural occupation
s, such as sheep shearers, who ha
ve ready access to the raw materials. They are traditionally used for skiing. Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, where they were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in non-pressurized planes at high altit
udes.[citation needed] An exhibit of a WWI aviator's outfit in the Can
adian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots.[citation needed] Ugg boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least t
he 1960s, for keeping warm while o
ut of the water. The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used as generic terms for sheepskin boots in Australia since the 1950s and 1960s,[1] when they first appeared in advertising and other publications. The natural insulative properties of sheepskin give thermostatic properties to the boots: the
thick fleecy fibres on the inner p
art of the boots allow air to circulate and keep the feet at body temperature. This means that Ugg boots can be worn without socks
or tights (even in relatively cold weather).
