Who hasn't heard of these strange boots that have become iconic today? Do they often appear on the pages of fashion magazines, constantly changing and surprising each time with a new unusual color, or decoration, or the way they are worn with a wide variety of outfits?
The name ugg boots comes from the English ugly boots, which means “ugly boots”. This nickname was given to the shoes brought from Australia, slightly resembling felt boots. Made of tanned sheepskin, it has a very simple cut, excellent heat retention and very comfortable. These qualities have made her a favorite shoe all over the world.
In the manufacture of these shoes, sheepskin is used with fur inside. Thanks to this, the temperature in ugg boots is always close to the temperature of the human body, which means that they can be worn even without socks in any frost!
At first, ugg boots were the favorite footwear of farmers and villagers in Australia. Then they began to be used by residents of the polar latitudes, sheep breeders and other agricultural workers in China. A little later, they migrated to skiing, and in the 60s of the last century - to surfing. These boots perfectly warmed the feet of surfers and swimmers out of the water. The fame of them quickly swept along the entire Hollywood coast.
The growth in popularity was also facilitated by the fact that they are unmatched in terms of their convenience. Russian felt boots, capable of protecting against any frost, do not have such softness and plasticity as ugg boots, which are often equipped with rubber or leather soles for strength. But even from this they do not become more rigid and do not constrain the leg at all. City dwellers, who are not able to walk barefoot, appreciated the possibilities of ugg boots: the foot in them remains soft and flexible, providing a flexible and soft gait.
The real success came to boots in the 70s of the twentieth century, when the UGG trademark was officially recognized in the United States. And already in the 80s they became a fashion trend.
Manufacturers do not stop their search: they develop new models every year. These are options for different colors, waterproof samples, models with a variety of options for fasteners, ribbons, laces and fur pom-poms. Knitted ugg boots with interesting relief patterns are also produced. Lovers of high heels are offered models with a thickened rubber sole. But the classic options for ankle-high boots or covering calves remain invariably popular.
These shoes are worn with a variety of modern clothing. Jeans, leggings, warm sweaters, and knitted dresses will suit them.
