First of all, Eskimos did not make the original UGG style boot. Taking a look at what many people have written there seems to be general consensus that UGG boots similar in style to the Classic Men's Short boot arrived in the United States when a surfer named Brian Smith first trotted them out in 1978 and the concept of wearing sheepskin footwear began to take hold in the United States. Today the business that Brian began is part of Deckers Outdoor Corporation. Deckers Outdoor owns the trademark UGG Australia and manufactures UGG Australia boots today.

Some say the name "UGG" is thought to describe a style of boot. There are those that think the word "UGG" may have come from "ugly", but knowing how many people love their UGG boots like the UGG Sundance II women's boot, it is doubtful they would agree. Most would say that it is hard not to see the crafted beauty. UGG boots are not only functional in keeping out the cold, but that they have evolved to include a variety of beautifully styled UGG boots, like the UGG Ultra Tall women's boot, the UGG Bettey women's shoe, or for men, the UGG Ascot slipper, and for a great relaxed look, the UGG Dakota women's mocassin.

UGG boots provide styles of sheepskin footwear that can be worn by both men, like the popular UGG Tasman slippers and for women, the wonderful UGG Classic Cardy boot. In cold climate areas, UGG Ultimate Short sheepskin boots have been worn for warmth. The natural insulation of sheepskin with the thick fleece fibers allow for great air circulation and maintain your feet at body temperature. You can wear your Classic Short UGG boots without socks, even if temperatures are on the cold side.

UGG Australia has continues to build on Brian's efforts. UGG Australia's marketing has resulted in international recognition and UGG boots are now available worldwide. By 1998, the product line had grown to include a minimum of two boots, four slippers, and a few other casuals and began to be seen alongside the finest luxury footwear.

What more can be said about UGG boots than great styles, great colors. If you have any questions or need additional product information, please contact us at Snow River.
