For the Love of UGGS

Uggs - we love them and at the same time, we hate them. They keep us warm and comfy but not always allowing us to wear a dressy pair of pants or skirt, so what? Where do they come from and how did they become everybody's necessity to have during any season? Pilots have worn them during World War I and were calling them "fug boots" (flying uggs). Then they were reintroduced by Australian surfers in the 60s who wore them to get warm. And even back then, they were interpreted as an ugly boot which started its name of uggies or uggs. Uggs have stayed in Australia for many years and have been developing their reputation locally until 1990s when US footwear company Deckers Outdoor Corporation saw their potential for an American market.

Despite their considerably high prices, Uggs became US sheepskin boot must-have. You can find them in many different colors and lengths. What about the animal print or rain boots? Anything is possible with Uggs. They even have helped to create a collection of celebrity inspired boots which have raised $35,447 in 2007 in the name of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (KatyaUK is a Partner in Hope for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital). I have created their small gallery so you can see these unique signature boots which differed in colors, designs & texture in honor of the Research Hospital.

Uggs can be worn during cold and even warm weather, remember Pamela Anderson in the Baywatch episode? Bathing suit and Uggs is the outfit for the beach days. Jeans and Uggs is the outfit for a weekend hang out. They have a comfortable fit and warmth which no other boot has.

If you own Uggs, share their identity on KatyaUK!
