People all over the world love Ugg Boots 
Here's some information about the Ug, Ugh, Ugg Boots that I think you'll find interesting.

WHAT IS AN UGG BOOT?

Traditionally the term "ugg boot" refers to a style of Australian boot made with either sheepskin or lambskin. 

During World War I Australian Pilots wore a fleece lined "FUG" (flying ugly boot), and Australian farmers wore a type of ugg boot as early as the 1930's to keep their feet warm.  In the 1960's the Australian Surfers would put on ugg boots to warm their feet after a day of riding the waves, and they were also enjoyed by many wearing them around the house during the winter time.

WHERE THE TERM "UGG BOOT" ORIGINATED

Because the term ugg is considered a generic term in Australia to describe a style of boot, it is so commonplace that it's even found in the Australian dictionaries.  Ugg boots are also known as "Ug" or Ugh" boots.

The term UGG is a registered trademark in both Australia and the United States.  It was first registered in Australia in 1965.  Most Australians have grown up with a pair of uggie's of some description, and some people actually believe that this type of footwear is an Aussie icon.

There are several Australian Companies that still manufacture these boots.  But because there is litigation going on in the U.S. over the trademark of the word "UGG"  many of the Australian manufacturers are now marketing their "ugg boots" as "Australian Sheepskin Boots".

Whether you call them "sheepskin boots" or "ugg boots" they are cozy warm and soft, and they have even become popular with celebrities all across the world the past few years.
