Uggs - Australian Sheepskin Boots, And Trend Setters

There are two types of Uggs people, those who know what they are and those who don't. In the category of people who know what these are, they either love them or hate them, in the category of people who don't know what they are, they WILL either love them or hate them. So what are they then?

These traditional Australian sheepskin boots are now available under a branded US trademark, where changing markets and demanding fans, have seen, sandals, slippers, handbags, kiddies Uggs and espadrilles made in recent times. The boots are also available in many and varied styles, long, short, and with different exteriors finishes, but the basic design remains the same.

During World War I, when pilots flew in open bi-planes they wore Uggs for warmth and called them the "flying Ugg" or FUG. As far back as the 1930's Australian farmers wore them for warms and in the 1960's surfers wore them to warm their feet when they came in from the water.

They were worn indoors and out in Australia to keep people's feet warm, and while there are still a few Australian manufacturers of Uggs, a US company has this trademark. So there is UGG US and UGG Australia. Because of this the Australians market their generic product as "Australian sheepskin boots", known as Uggs, or Ughs.

Regardless of what name you give to them and whether they are manufactured in the US or Australia, the essence of the boot remains the same and they have been made a trend setting item of footwear. You only have to see one celebrity wearing an item for it to become trendy and trendsetters such as Oprah and Paris Hilton have acknowledged they are huge fans of the Ugg boot, as have many other celebs. They are incredibly warm and very practical as well as being a fashion statement.

As legend will have it the origin of the name stems from the appearance of the boot which is believed to be "ugly". This became the generic term for any Australian sheepskin boot. This word is found in reference to these boots in Australian dictionaries, and it was never trademarked.

The capitalist Americans found this out and registered a trademark which operates under the "Decker Outdoor Corporation", who are also by the way, the parent company of UGG Australia.
