subject: Uggs Sheepskin Boots [print this page] Uggs have been called the "most comfortable boot" by many. Sheepskin is warm and soft to the touch, and takes the shape of the foot, keeps it warm in cold weather, cool in hot weather and removes any trace of moisture off of it. The comfort and craftsmanship of functional sheepskin fashion boots is fast becoming a popular choice.
You will adore these Uggs as you consider how they leapt from the fashion pages and into the mainstream. Why are they so popular? It's because they are stylish and comfortable. Consumers overwhelmingly chose them for those reasons and not the hype.
If you have to watch your budget, you can find cheap Uggs or discounted Uggs perhaps on Ebay. However, at online and retail shoe stores, discounted boots are not to be found.
They were popular with Australian swimmers and surfers in the 1960's then migrating to California for the shakedown fashion cruise. Needless to say, they became a sensation.
Cozy Uggs slippers are made with sheepskin and are available in short and tall styles and in tan or brown color ranges. They have flat heels that makes it comfortable to be worn as a slipper around the house or on the street. They are wearable in winter as well as summer. A great feature of the interior is that they are odor free.
They were so functional and comfortable that they became a sensation and word of mouth spread of the newcomer. Sheepskin, you see, is more comfortable than cowhide and it breathes and circulates the air so your boots don't develop odors too quickly.
The fleece inside the shoe creates circulation that warms your foot in the winter and cools your foot in summer. It is a boot for any season. The same could be said for the slippers also. The tanned outer surface and wool inner lining can be worn without socks. The most comfortable shoe you can choose is Uggs Australia.
How did the word Ugg come about? It came from the phrase ''ugly boot''. Those who sheared sheep in Australia first crafted the boot and thought they looked ugly. The name stuck. Today's Uggs boots are newly designed and are a far cry from the early frontier version. They are attractive, functional and warm.
There is a larger variety of designs of men's and women's Ugg boots to choose from today. The classic Ugg boot is now accompanied by newer styles in many colors and materials. One of Oprah Winfrey's ''Favorite Things'' is the Ugg boot with sheepskin sock liners and crochet-knitted upper parts. Available in varied lengths and colors, other designs include a narrowed down upper part and a lacy look.
