Authentic Ugg Boots

Womens UGG boots have been extremely popular for the last few years, and it seems like they just appeared out of nowhere one day. The truth of the matter is that these boots have actually been worn in Australia for roughly 200 years. The word UGG, means ‘ugly’ in Australian slang. It can also be spelled ‘ug,’ or ‘ugh.’ They were so named because of the unattractive and odd appearance of the footwear. If you have ever tried on a pair of these boots however you will know that they are anything but ugly on the inside.

Womens UGG boots started to get popular during the 1970s in Australia. They started to be mass manufactured in Perth, the biggest city on Australia’s West Coast. This area has roughly the same climate as does Southern California, so these shoes started to become really popular among the surfing crowd in the area. UGGs quickly became the footwear of choice among this hip crowd. Naturally, their popularity would soon spread to the beaches of England where the boots started to become quite popular there as well. Next the UGGs phenomenon would travel to the US beaches by English teens that were there on holiday.

As you can see, it has taken quite a bit of time for womens UGG boots to gain notoriety in the US, but once it had, it had taken over by storm. The best part is that now that they have been officially released in the states, you do not have to go all over the world in search of a pair, as they can easily be found in most United States department stores and boutiques. If you happen to be looking for a good deal though, then the internet is the place to look.

The interesting aspect about womens UGG boots is that they are made from pure Merino sheepskin. As a result they are about the most comfortable type of footwear that you can find. They have even been given the slogan ‘walking on clouds’ due to the fact that they are so comfortable. If you do choose to buy them from the internet, be sure that you are buying the genuine Australian article, and not a cheap knockoff that is probably mass produced in China. Real, authentic UGGs are always handmade in Australia, but for a few exceptions.

One of the reasons why knock offs are not as good as the original is that they are mainly made using synthetic fibers. They may also be made from materials such as cow’s hide which simply does not have the breathability that wool does. As a result they cannot be worn year round like UGGs can be, and they also do not allow your feet to breathe. Finally, you will want the real thing because otherwise you are just being cheated. After all, don’t you want to be able to tell your friends truthfully that you have a pair of UGGs?
