The Ug Boot is a thing of beauty in terms of comfort. The softness of the Ausssie sheepskin produces a boot with a cozy, form fitting feel that’s more like a cloud than a shoe, Still it’s tough enough for outdoor wear. The internal lining has the amazing property of providing year-round comfort.

Even in the heat of summer, the natural fibers of the fleece actually cool your feet by taking away perspiration.
Growing Up in Ugs
By the 1970s, in Perth, the largest city on Australia’s West Coast, Ug boots were being manufactured by several small companies in the area. Perth has much the same climate as Southern California and is also a location for surfers.It was the community of surfies at the great surfing beaches at Margaret River near Perth who first adopted Ug Boots as their footwear of choice and made them a symbol of the Aussie surfing lifestyle.

From the beaches of Western Australia, Ugs were soon seen on the feet of East Coast surfers from Melbourne to Queensland. It wasn’t very long at all long until some of these surfers , the ones who traded their surfboards for skis in the winter found that their Ug Boots were just as at home in the ski resort areas of the Australian Snowy Mountains as they were on the warm sands of Melburne bells beach.
So itt was Aussie surfers traveling the world in search of the perfect wave, who first introduced their buddies in California to the pleasures of the Ugg Boot. Uggs soon became a fashion among those L.A. surfers who could depend on a bro down under to send them a pair of boots.
