Ugg boots were once the Australian icons, but now it is not so as it is manufactured in different countries and sold all over the world. It is the most sought after boots in the United States of America and the Europe for the comfort it gives to the user during the winter, although it can be worn all-year-round.
There is only one boot that garners such a reaction and that is the Ugg boot. Originally made in Australia Ugg boots are made of sheepskin: tanned leather outer with thick pure wool lining the inside. Sheep's wool grows with a natural crimp, which gives greater bulk than other textiles. The crimping also retains air thus acting as a thermo-insulator. Wool fibers are hygroscopic which means they will readily absorb and release moisture and can absorb up to one-third of its weight in moisture. By drawing moisture away from the skin, feet are kept warm and dry.
These icons of comfort created quite the controversy due to there 'unattractive' appearance. Some people claimed that the wearing of boots in public was sloppy and contributed to a decline in society's respectability while others bestowed the virtues of opting for comfort over the often-painful price of fashion. It was believed that the Ugg shoes online would just be a passing trend, soon to be relegated to the dark corners of our closets.
