Ugg boots are trendy since 2000. We can see different styles of Ugg classic Boots in many celebrities' feet. The term Ugg Boots is used for sheepskin boots for many years in Australia. In addition to this, sheepskin boots have been famous in China for a long time. After World War one and World War two Ugg Boots increased its popularity among aviators since they have to keep their feet warm because at that time the planes were unpressurized at high attitudes. In the beginning, in Australia and New Zealand this cozy and warm boot was being worn by social groups such as Bogans, Westies and Bevans in public. Interestingly enough, most other Australians would only wear them round the house or at the most just on a trip to the local store. The boots actually became trendy during the sixties with surfers and competitive swimmers as they kept them warm whilst out of the water. However, since 2003 the boot has become terribly trendy in America thanks to the marketing of the product by an American Company called Ugg Australia (a part of the Deckers outdoor corporation). The Ugg Australia Brand was made by Brian Smith who commenced importing to the United States in the late seventies. He then sold the company to Deckers outdoors in the mid nineteen nineties. Actresses like Kate Hudson (pictured wearing them on a poster for Raising Helen in 2004) and Sienna Miller appear to have increased their popularity. This style of footwear has become a major product in most major department shops and shoes stores across the world. Certainly some of the more well-liked brands available are the Emu, Koolaburra, UGG and Warm bat. Although these boots are available worldwide typically in sizes that fit both men and women, and the styles available are pretty similar it appears more women than men are at present wearing them, especially in the US. Because of this colors such as lavender, pink and pastels have been introduced which specifically target the female market? The Deckers versions of Ugg Australia boots, Emu, Old Friend and Aussie Dogs are now made in China. However those produced by Koolaburra and exported to the United States are still made in Australia. Because of the US trademark laws you may find that many Australian and US manufacturers who produce this style of shoes are now marketing them as 'Sheepskin Boots' rather than 'Ugg Boots'.
