In 1978 a surfer from Australia took a bag of sheepskin boots with him to California. Apparently California Surfers loved them, and the UGG brand began. Deckers Outdoor Corporation acquired UGG in 1995, and by 1998 there were a few different styles. Then, in 2000, (and I remember this quite well), Oprah Winfrey chose UGGS to be on her ‘favourite things’ show and she gave all of her staff a pair and everyone in the audience a pair as well. She again chose UGGS in 2003 and in 2005. They became a must-have amongst luxury shoe shoppers and a big hit with teens. Incidentally, the last time Oprah aired a show featuring UGGS it was in November, so they were the craze for the Christmas season. UGGS are made from the best quality sheepskin which they call ‘twin faced’ meaning that they are treated on the skin side and the wool side. The unique ‘material’ allows the boot to breathe and wick to keep dry, and sheepskin is naturally water resistant. This is a pretty cool fact: UGG advertises that their boots will keep bare feet cool in temperatures as low as -30F to 80F, as the sheepskin naturally insulates.
