        Do you have cold feet in winter? But now if you wear a pair of Ugg boots, you won't be troubled by that.

        UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers(剪羊毛的人)in the 1920s. The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.

        Ugg boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feel. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. Ugg boots fed more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear. The unique, wool fool-beds lake the shape of the natural edge of each wearer's feet, creating personalized arch (弓形) supports.

        Our ugg boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of Ugg Original Pty Ltd.

        We can also wear ugg boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of ugg boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. Ugg boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.
