Ugg Boots, Woolly boots, Australian Sheepskin boots or what ever your favorite name for Ugg Boots, there’s no denying that Uggs are the latest phenomenon in teenage and adult fashion. You’ll probably end up wearing them a lot more than your favourite pair of jeans, your best hoodie and especially your old smelly trainers!

So if you’ve been living the life of a hermit and haven’t yet encountered the Ugg sensation, here is a lowdown on just what this new kind of footwear is all about and why it’s proving to be so extremely loved by young and old alike.

Folks in Australia have been in love with Ugg boots for more than 200 years and they characterize a way of life in Australia. Ugg’s are so common in Australia that attempts to trademark the term Ugg Boots failed as it was descriptive of a kind of boot and not a particular product.

Well-liked by the surfing crowd, the sight of a set of Uggs appearing from the side of a VW combi has been gracing the coast line of Bell’s Beach since the sixties. It was only a short trip over the Pacific from Aussie beach wear to Hollywood sheik-wear with female celebrity’s getting their women’s Uggs on such as Pamela Anderson, and magazine’s like Marie Clare, Teen Vogue and Cosmo featuring celebrity megastars and starlets sporting the most recent in sheepskin ugg boot fashion. In recent times men’s ugg boots have come to the fray and are frequently to be seen in the homes as well as on the streets of Los Angeles, New York and Birmingham.

Typically for ladies it will be a pair of women’s tall Uggs in popular classic style – you simply can’t beat classic looks.
