Most people outside of Australia will not have heard about Ugg boots until the very late '90s, but
the boot has a much longer history than that.
World War I pilots have been pictured wearing an Ugg-style boot which was called a &ldquo,Football jerseys;fugg boot”. The
general consensus is that “fug” stands for flying Ugg. Due to the 100% natural sheepskin from which
genuine Uggs are made, they are the perfect boot for flying in as they are loose and comfortable and
keep your feet at a constant temperature. Thus at high altitudes your feet would remain at a
comfortable body temperature. In the 1930s,football Jerseys, Australian sheep shearers wore Uggs to keep them warm. By
the late '60s,Youth baseball jerseys, surfers were wearing them to keep them warm on the way to and from the sea. By this
point, Uggs were being produced throughout Australia.
5 The original Ugg boot style was made from just three pieces of material: one for each side and one
for the soft sole. Ugg boots now come in long, short and decorated styles and have sturdy rubber
outside soles.

boots to America and the boot began to gather fans in the American surfing community. The Ugg boot
then slowly gathered steam over the next twenty years.
