The Australian Ugg Boots Craze!

Ugg Boots have become the one fashion accessory that you just can’t live without. Ugg Boots are literally everywhere. These are the perfect boots that you will never want to part with, just like your best pair of worn-out jeans that you’ll never toss. Not only will you love how you look in your sheepskin footwear, your feet will be happy that you want to wear them all the time.

Exactly how did this Ugg Boots Phenomenon get started? The boots have been around since the 1950s, so why is this craze hitting now?

Australians originally wore these cozy sheepskin ugg boots to keep their feet warm (of all things!). That first settler had no idea what would happen over the next few decades! Australians are known worldwide to enjoy the outdoors, and typically sport casual, rugged looks and styles. Australian surfers wore Ugg Boots between waves to keep their feet warm. And, everyone in the surfing world knows that whatever happens in Australian surfing is sure to hit the West Coast of America quickly. So, the Ugg Boots made their way to the States.

Ugg Boots got their name from some Australian slang-”ugg” is actually short for “ugly.” This term is more a term of endearment, since everyone loves these ugg boots, but they were originally seen as more “ugly” than other boots available and people really chose them for their functional uses and comfort. At some point, the world realized that function and comfort are beautiful things, too, and now Ugg Boots are found at the end of some of the hottest legs around.

Ugg Boots are no longer any kind of “secret” style, and they are not limited to any particular group or kind of person. How this happened nobody really knows for sure, but Ugg Boots really have taken on the world. Whether you’re an Australian shepherd or farmer, Hollywood star, American teenager, soccer mom, or casual-yet-stylish guy, you probably have (or want) a pair of Uggs. You can’t turn around without seeing someone wearing a pair these days. Men, women, and children are all included. You just can’t beat the comfort of Ugg Boots.

Ugg Boots are just one of the ways that Australian culture has spread worldwide. Some of the other best-loved Australian symbols have endured worldwide-think of the kangaroo? Everyone knows that one! But, we can still hold out hope that vegemite sandwiches stay where they belong, though.
