UGG Boots

UGG Boots are a staple of fashion that finds its roots in Australia, where surfers of the ’60s took advantage of the warmth provided by their fleece interiors. Upon making their debut on the global stage, they quickly became the hottest trend in the footwear market, and today, they are regularly worn as part of people’s fall and winter outfits. Though the classic design can stretch above the knee, Mini UGG Boots are a short variation, usually stopping around the ankle. Thick soles are sometimes incorporated to give the famous platform appearance, which adds another layer to the boot’s unique aesthetic. When it comes to choosing a material, you have a few options, ranging from waterproof synthetics to black leather.

The History of UGG Boots

‘Ugg boots’ (not to be confused with the brand) is the term given to a style of footwear that uses sheepskin, an insulating material popular among the surfing community in the ’60s. The founder of the company UGG, Brian Smith, introduced these boots to the United States in 1978, and over time, the brand grew to become a success not only in the US but also in international markets.

There are several types of UGG boots available to purchase: the Neumel, Ultra Mini, Classic Maxi, and more. Appealing to a wide range of demographics (men, women, and kids), these each provide unique benefits, such as platform TreadLite outsoles and suede uppers. Whether you’re looking for sturdy footwear to last you through the less idyllic months or for some casual boots for occasions when you want to look your best, the UGG collection is guaranteed to tick your boxes.
