The Ugg History

The general consensus is that the name Ugg Boots comes from the term "ugly boot" and ever since then, Australians have referred to their sheepskin boots as ugg boots, uggies or uggs. Regardless of the history, it is and always will be a generic term for sheepskin boots in Australia. Ask any Australian what an ugh boot is and they'll say sheepskin boot. It's as 'ocker' (slang for 'Australian') as meat pies and kangaroos. As for 'who made them first', well, it would be difficult for any one person to lay claim to making the "first" pair of uggs or ugg boots.

Ug Boots originated in Australia earlier this century when World War I pilots were pictured wearing their fleece-lined "Fug Boots". Blue Mountain Uggs go back to 1933 with sheep shearers finding them cosy and warm and in the late 1950's, Mortel's Sheepskin Factory began producing a line of "ugh boots". Their original ugg australia boot style was very basic - essentially two pieces of sheepskin in the shape of a boot joined together down the centre-front and back with a soft sole attached to the bottom. They didn't even have hard soles so they were really no more that a posh sock! Then in the late 1960's Australian surfers decided it was real cosy to jump out of the surf and into a pair of sheepskin boots to help get warm.
