Ugg Boots – Fashion Do or Don’t?
January 8, 2010 • written by Jasmine Branum
Whether you’re a fan or not – it seems as the Ugg boot fashion trend will not end. Ugg-style boots, called “fugg boots”, were first worn by World War I pilots. Genuine Ugg boots are made of 100% sheepskin, they are loose and comfortable plus, and they keep your feet at a constant temperature. Therefore, it was practical for pilots to wear them. In the ‘30s, sheep shearers from Australia wore Uggs to keep their feet warm; in the ‘60s surfers wore them to keep them warm to and from the ocean. After that, the Ugg boot was being produced all throughout Australia. Ugg Boots were introduced to America mainly because Pamela Anderson started wearing them to keep warm during her breaks in filming the television show – Baywatch. Yet, the boots did not become popular until 2003 because of an American Company called Ugg Australia.
The original Ugg boot was made from three pieces of material – one for each of the sides and one for the sole. Now, the Ugg boots come in short, long, and have rubber outside soles. Yahoo’s 11 worst fashion trends of the decade put the boots at number 6 stating, “Uggs went from trendy to just plain ugg-ly.” Even though Yahoo thinks Uggs are a fashion don’t, it doesn’t seem like the fad is going to end anytime soon.
