Ugg boots (discount ugg boots) have come a long way from their humble roots as functional footwear in the fields and on the beaches of Australia. Commonly known Down Under as uggs (ugg classic cardy boots), ughs or ugs, the unisex sheepskin boots have been made for about 200 years with wool on the inside and tanned leather on the outside.
According to folklore, Ugg boots (ugg classic tall boots) were first worn by Australian sheep ranchers, followed by aviators in non-pressurized planes on long missions during World War I and World War II. Australian (ugg classic short boots) surfers in the 1960s and 1970s began wearing the boots at the beach to keep their feet warm (ugg adirondack boots) after coming out of the water. Surfer Brian Smith brought the sheepskin boots (ugg fluff flip flop sandals) to the United States in 1978, and the rest is history.
