Ugg Boots & Uggs On Sale

How did the Uggs US brand become so popular? This is the story according to Deckers, the company that currently owns the brand:

Back in 1978, young Australian surfer Brian Smith introduced his UGG® brand sheepskin boots to the United States. He hit the streets armed with two-dozen pairs of his UGG sheepskin boots ready to make his "sheepskin to riches" story come true.

It was the crazy Californian surfers who first grasped the genius of these sheepskin boots - the incredible warmth and cozy comfort. His first season in business, Brian sold 48 pairs of boots. Through Brian's passionate efforts the UGG brand steadily grew, spreading from the beaches of California to the ski slopes of the west, to Hollywood movie sets, and beyond.

Today the business that Brian began is incorporated as Deckers Outdoor Corporation. Deckers Outdoor is known in the trade as UGG Australia. UGG Australia has continued Brian's efforts to build the UGG brand.

Uggs are versatile. Uggs are really many shoes rolled into one. Uggs can be worn as:

* comfy house slippers
* trendy beach attire
* fashionable eveningwear
* winterwear in cold climates
* casual-wear with blue jeans

Uggs are practical! For example, if you are traveling and can not take lots of shoes with you, Uggs are the perfect shoes to take along as they can be worn on almost any occasion.

There are two meanings for the term Fuggs:

1. Boots modeled after the real, original Ugg boots, that is fake Uggs (Fuggs).

2. During World-War 1 Australian pilots wore sheepskin boots, which they called uggs on long flights. They became known as flying Uggs or "Fuggs".

Uggs are OBVIOUSLY great shoes, but also quite expensive. If the high price of real Ugg Boots are stopping you from buying, have a look at these Ugg Knockoffs. These are not counterfeit Ugg shoes, but rather quality, well known brands, such as Emu, Bear Paw, etc. These brands sell very well because they look alot like Uggs Boots but costs anywhere from 50-70% less. So if the high price of Uggs is preventing you from hitting the 'Buy Now' Button, have a look at Ugg Knockoffs.

In australia the term Ugg is generic for sheepskin boots. In the USA,
"UGG" is a trademark of the boots manufactured by a U.S. company, "UGG Australia." Do not be surprised if you see similar looking boots marketed as "Australian sheepskin boots."
