A bit of history
These winter boots got their name from the word ugly, which translates from English as "ugly". Ugg boots originate in Australia. There, farmers who were engaged in sheep breeding came up with the idea of sewing winter shoes from sheep skin with fur inside. The first ugg boots were not very attractive, but they were quite comfortable and warm shoes.

During the First World War, ugg boots received a new resonance, as they began to be actively used by pilots for whom it was important to keep their feet warm during flights. In those days, the planes were not airtight, so it was always pretty cool on board.

Peculiarities
- Unusual ugg boots are made using special technologies, which makes them unique in their kind.For the production of these shoes, double-face or double sheepskin of high quality is used, which is processed both on the fur side and on the outer leather side. Due to the use of such material, the shoes are quite light, but at the same time very warm.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-13.jpg)
- Due to the special properties of sheepskin to maintain a temperature close to body temperature, ugg boots are not only warm boots for the winter, you can walk in them almost all year round. The temperature regime of the original boots with natural fur is designed for frosts down to –30 and even lower in winter, and up to +24 in the summer months.

- Foam rubber is used to make the soles of these boots. This material has a springy effect and is very lightweight. In combination with a lightweight upper part, the ugg boots are practically weightless, so they are very comfortable in them.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-19.jpg)
- For winter models, a sole with a clearer and deeper tread pattern is used. Due to this, ugg boots do not slip on the ice. For lighter spring and summer models, the outsole pattern may be less aggressive. To connect the upper part with the fur and the sole, a special seam is used, similar to the one used for stitching moccasins. This seam is a feature of all boot models.

- In addition to the usual sheepskin, some companies, such as the Australian manufacturer WHOOGA, use merino wool. Merino wool has a softer and fluffier wool, merino ugg boots are warmer and stronger than ordinary sheep wool.

How to distinguish branded shoes from fake ones?
The unprecedented excitement that ugg boots produced, including with the help of many Hollywood celebrities, could not be ignored by scammers. Today, UGG Australia boots and over the knee boots are at the top of the list of the most frequently faked shoe brands. With the growing popularity of sheepskin boots from this brand, the number of fakes in stores is also growing.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-50.jpg)
That is why the manufacturer pays special attention to original brand features that help distinguish branded models from cheap fakes.
Several features that will help distinguish the original models from their counterparts:
- a label with three letters UGG is located on the back of the boots;
- the letter in the middle is slightly higher than the other two;
- the inscription is made in the Gothic style.

As strange as it may sound, the famous Australian UGG Australia boots and boots from sheepskin are not produced in Australia at all. Factories in China and Vietnam are engaged in the production of these shoes. Therefore, ugg boots made in Australia or New Zealand (with the exception of boots from the Ultra series) are fake.
Original ugg boots are made only from natural sheepskin, which can be cream-colored or dyed in the color of the boots. At the same time, the insole always has a natural color. Fake models will have a strong paint smell, as well as grayish or white fur that can peel off.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-54.jpg)
The original UGG Australia uses a double sheepskin with fur on one side and suede on the other. Cheap counterparts are usually made by gluing or stitching the inner and outer parts, which can be determined upon close inspection.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-55.jpg)
The left boot of the original models has a special sewn-in label inside, which, when turned over, changes color from black to white. Some newer models are equipped with 3D-effect labels.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-56.jpg)
UGG Australia boots and over the knee boots have a flexible matte sole. Fake models have a rather stiff sole, moreover, it is thinner - 6-7 mm, while the original sole is 13 mm thick. The embossed tread pattern on the outsole is also the hallmark of authentic boots.

The manufacturer indicates the official website of the company on the packaging, and the box also has a special hologram. Ugg boots from UGG Australia have recently been packed in bags that biodegrade in their natural environment.

Choosing between winter boots and ugg boots, you must first of all understand that although ugg boots are very comfortable shoes, not everyone can wear such shoes to work.

However, for going to work, a restaurant or the theater, it is better to have a pair of classic leather or suede boots with wedges or heels. For a date with a loved one, it is also better to choose boots, since many men consider ugg boots to be rather unattractive women's shoes.
What to wear with ugg boots?
To create a spectacular and stylish look with ugg boots, you need to know what these unusual shoes are best combined with. Some girls are of the opinion that these boots make the legs shorter. However, this is not quite true. The legs look shorter when the girl wears ugg boots with a mid-calf skirt.

In addition, complementing the image with a belt at the waist, you can add elegance and sophistication to the image. Such comfortable and comfortable shoes should be matched with comfortable things. Jeans have long become a symbol of convenience for many.Skinny jeans, which should be tucked into ugg boots, are one of the most successful combinations for an everyday look.

In addition to jeans, many girls like to combine ugg boots with dresses and skirts. The optimal length for skirts is mini or above the knee. For a harmonious combination, it is necessary to give preference to outfits from dense and rough materials, complementing the image with dense tights or leggings. Since ugg boots can hardly be called romantic feminine shoes, it is better to leave light lace or openwork models of dresses and skirts for classic boots.

For the warm season, ugg boots and short shorts will be a good combination. In the US, many people wear ugg boots without socks and with shorts on the beach. However, for residents of Russia, ugg boots are more related to winter shoes, so an image with shorts and ugg boots will look strange and shocking.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-81.jpg)
As outerwear for ugg boots, you should choose shortened sports-style jackets. Such a bottom goes well with bulky knitwear or coarsely knitted sweaters. In addition, elongated jackets or knee-length parkas with a belt or drawstrings at the waistline will look good. Another safe option would be a sheepskin coat, which will go well with ugg boots in color. One of the most fashionable options for outerwear for uggs is fur vests with a long pile - a silver fox or a red fox.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-82.jpg)
Weighty bags or backpacks are suitable as accessories, which will harmoniously fit into a free style with ugg boots. In general, all accessories should be quite bulky. This also applies to thick scarves and hats with a large knit, wide leather belts, which can be decorated with metal buttons. All accessories to match the shoes are rough and massive.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/04/sapogi-uggi-83.jpg)
When choosing jewelry, you should give preference to wide bracelets with large clay, ceramic or wooden beads, as well as weighty chains and beads. Any feminine and sophisticated accessories will absolutely not fit into an image with ugg boots.
