. So, Ugg has not just a brand but a trendy. But how much do you know about Ugg?

The Ugg Boot is a generic term for a style of sheepskin boot which has been produced in Australia and New Zealand for almost 200 years. Originally they were called "Ug or Ugh Boots" which is short for "Ugly". However an American Importer presented the idea that the name Ugg comes from the way that the boot "hugs" the wearer's foot and legs. However because of trademark issues, Uggs are more often than not known in the retail world simply as Sheepskin Boots. The boots certainly became popular during the 1960's with surfers and competitive swimmers as they kept them warm whilst out of the water.

It is thought that many popular Australian actors and actresses have probably being wearingUgg shoes
in private for some time, it was only when Pamela Anderson started wearing a pair that she had acquired in Australia to help keep her legs warm during breaks in filming the popular television show Baywatch, that it is thought people in the USA started to take an interest in these boots.

However, since 2003 the boot has become very fashionable in America because of the marketing of the product by an American Company called Ugg Australia. The Ugg Australia Brand was created by Brian Smith who began importing to the USA in the late 1970's. He then sold the company to Deckers Outdoors in 1995. Actresses such as Kate Hudson and Sienna Miller seem to have increased their popularity. This style of footwear has now become a major product in most major department stores and shoes stores across the globe. Certainly some of the more popular brands available are the Emu, Koolaburra, UGG and Warmbat. However, in Canada it was found that the Ugg boot has become extremely popular with girls at many of the Universities in Ontario as well as on many US campuses.

Although Uggs
are available worldwide generally in sizes that fit both men and women, and the styles available are pretty much identical it seems more women than men are currently wearing them, especially in the US. Because of this colors such as lavender, pink and pastels have been introduced which specially target the female market.
