Ugg boots from Australia
What are ugg boots and what are they?
Ugg boots - a special type of footwear, suitable for both sexes, the peculiarity of which lies in a special manufacturing technique - with a woolen pile inside. The outer part of the product is made in a special way using the tanning technique.
The origin of the name of this type of shoe is rather curious, since it does not have any translation and is the logo of the original UGG brand.
The name itself is pronounced like "uggs" only on the territory of Russia, and in European countries it is read as "agz".
Origin story
The official brand UGG, which is the original manufacturer of the first traditional ugg boots, began in the 1970s and gained popularity thanks to celebrities who actively used ugg boots as everyday shoes.
But initially ugg boots were the traditional footwear of farmers in Australia and New Zealand, since they were the ones that best suited the climatic conditions of these countries. Since the product provides maximum comfort for the foot during a long stay in shoes, ugg boots made of natural sheepskin are especially relevant among residents and farmers of countries with a damp climate.
Dignity
Australian ugg boots, the advantages of which are undeniable and visible even with an unarmed eye, cannot be exchanged for any others, since they will seem only ridiculous and useless fake.
The advantage of the models of the original, Australian production, lies in the fact that the thick fur layer is made of high quality natural sheepskin, which is famous for its thermal qualities and properties.
It should be noted that the original Australian ugg boots are produced only in factories in Australia and New Zealand. Counterfeits are produced in domestic factories from much cheaper and lower quality raw materials.
Along with Australian models, Austrian-made ugg boots can be noted, the quality of which is in no way inferior. Thick fur, high quality material, TPV rubber outsole great for freezing climates.

Models
The ugg model range is not particularly wide, since they have a certain shape and appearance that does not change depending on the model. The differences in the Ugg model range are exclusively gender and age-related, and also lie in the height of the top of the product.
Children's ugg boots have the appropriate decor, female are made in a more sophisticated style, and male, as a rule, have a dark color without a print. It is important to choose a pair that is right for you, so as not to experience discomfort because of the ridiculous appearance, or because of the inconvenience of the shoes.
In addition, ugg boots are subdivided into winter and demi-season... The only differences are in the fur layer. The fact is that the winter model has more dense fur, thanks to which the leg is kept warm even in the most severe frosts.
Demi-season model has a fur layer much thinner, and sometimes made of artificial fur or fleece material. It is in this form that ugg boots are most comfortable for the autumn-spring period. But it is worth choosing a leather model, as these weather conditions are famous for slush and moisture.
In addition, there is model home ugg... The knitted surface and padding polyester lining will perfectly warm your feet at home, which is especially important if you live in a private house or in your apartment there are cracks and drafts.
As for the bootleg, ugg boots can be high, medium and short... Each model has its own advantages, for example, the tall ones are warmer because they cover more of the leg. Ugg boots of medium height are versatile, and cropped ones are most successfully combined with skinny jeans and trousers.
Materials (edit)
Perhaps every girl knows that the variety of ugg is not limited to models made from only one material.There are quite a few variations of raw materials for the manufacture of this type of footwear, and each of them has a number of characteristic features and advantages.
Of course, the most common pattern is suede... Suede is especially good for making winter footwear as it has very strong thermoregulatory functions. Suede shoes perfectly keep warmth, which is provided with a layer of natural fur.
But during the period of slush, it is necessary to use a special agent that prevents dirt from getting on the shoes and absorbing it into the structure of the material.
Leather ugg boots, from this point of view, are more practical, since the leather does not allow moisture to pass through and does not allow dirt to be absorbed. That is why leather ugg boots are more common in the mid-season. Leather, while not providing the same warmth as suede, still keeps your feet warm.
In addition, leather ugg boots look quite attractive and unusual.
In the manufacture of more budgetary models, they use leatherette and faux suede, which has much less strength and is thinner. In addition, a special material that imitates a varnish surface is actively used, since such shoes look very beautiful.
Size chart
In order to choose ugg boots that are suitable for the size of your legs, you need to try on several products and compare in which of them the leg feels more comfortable. Trying on several models is a necessity, as the sizes of some manufacturers may differ slightly from each other.
If you choose ugg boots remotely, for example, you order from an online store, you should take your foot measurements and compare them with the size chart, which presents a fairly wide range of sizes.

Customer Reviews
After analyzing the consumer market and customer reviews, it becomes clear that opinions are divided. Some people prefer more budgetary options, although they note that the quality of such products is not at the highest level.
Others, however, try to choose the highest quality ugg boots, not paying attention to their cost. Many, nevertheless, find a compromise and opt for models of average quality, using a combination of natural and artificial materials, at the same average cost.
How to choose?
When choosing ugg boots, you should pay attention to many details, both obvious and rather small, which at first glance do not play any role, but ultimately have a decisive influence on the choice.
For example, the sewn-on original emblem belongs to such trifles. Few people pay attention to its absence, but in fact, this is the first sign that this is a fake.
The second such detail, which belongs to the functional features, is the sole stitching. Some manufacturers, who save on the quality of their product, simply leave the UGG sole glued while it needs stitching to ensure a longer service life.
Of course, when choosing shoes, one cannot but pay attention to the size. Ugg boots are winter shoes, so the size must be respected, as in shoes that are too tight, the foot will freeze, and too loose will fidget and slip.
The color and height of the product also play an important role in the selection.
If you need universal shoes that fit everything, you can safely purchase ugg boots in black, dark brown, dark gray and dark blue shades. If you want to experiment, you can opt for colored products with prints or decor.
How to distinguish a fake?
Of course, every girl dreams of purchasing an original model, because in many ways it surpasses any fake in terms of the quality of materials and the quality of the work performed.This is not surprising at all, because high-quality items are much more durable.
The first distinctive feature, the most obvious and obvious, is the fur. The quality of the fur is the easiest way to distinguish the original from the fake.
- First, synthetic fiber is not as pleasant to the touch as natural fiber.
- Secondly, synthetic fibers crumple under any impact on them, and natural fur always returns to its original appearance.
Authenticity can be recognized by the tread on the outsole, as it has an original herringbone pattern, with the company logo in the middle of the foot. Any other options are fake.
The original can also be identified by the quality of the sole, which is made of durable frost-resistant rubber material. For the manufacture of fake soles, a material is used that is cheaper, but of lower quality.
Authentication is fairly straightforward by the surface quality of the shoe. For the manufacture of the original, natural high-quality suede is used, and fakes are made of artificial, less durable material.
Of course, many people prefer fakes due to the fact that the cost of the original is not affordable for everyone. High models have a price tag in the range of 15,000 - 20,000 rubles, and the cost of low ones varies between 10,000 - 14,000 rubles.
Fakes, although lower in cost, are still not profitable to acquire, since the quality of materials leaves much to be desired and leaves a certain negative imprint on the functional features of the product.
What to wear with?
Since many people refer to ugg boots as more of a sporty, informal style, some questions may arise regarding their combination with any wardrobe attributes that are not related to it.
Firstly, ugg boots go well with a trouser bottom, if only these are tapered models. For example, it can be leggings, jeggings, skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, skinny and tight pants. It is better to discard the classic model with arrows right away, since it is absolutely not suitable for combination with ugg boots.
Secondly, ugg boots harmonize very well with miniskirts, creating stylish looks with elements of lightness and romance. The skirt can be tapered or flared, you can also choose a fluffy model.
The only prerequisite is the length of the mini, since other options are not combined with this type of shoe at all.
By the way, in combination with ugg boots, it is quite possible to wear different models of mini-dresses, be it tight or loose fit. Woolen and knitted models are perfect.
Shorts of different models look very good with ugg boots. It can be a denim model in an informal style or a sophisticated classic with arrows. But it is worth combining shorts not only with ugg boots, but also with tight tights, because at that time of the year when ugg boots are especially relevant, it is too cold for bare legs.
When it comes to outerwear, just about any option is great. A warm fur coat, a stylish elegant coat, a leather jacket - a biker jacket, a cropped sheepskin coat or just a puffy jacket - a down jacket - all this will look very good with different ugg models.
