Ugg Australia became popular for its quality line of sheepskin boots; it is now recognized alongside other top shoe names such as Jimmy Choo and Sanuk as a quality product. Ugg Australia has built on this success by extending a product line to include slippers, sneakers and clothing accessories for men, women and children. Women now have the choice to co-ordinate their Ugg Australia sheepskin boots with complimentary accessories, trade their outdoor Ugg boots for indoor Ugg slippers or slip into some Ugg sneakers.
The Background of Ugg Australia
The official story to the background of Ugg Australia was that a young surfer, by the name of Brian Smith, arrived in California in 1978 from Australia. Brian Smith brought several sheepskin boots with him that soon began to form a trend amongst young surfers. Ugg Australia was allegedly then born and grew into the enterprise it is today.
However, some other news media sources, such as the UK Independent, state that another young Australian surfer, by the name of Shane Steadman, did exactly the same thing as Brian Smith – only seven years earlier. Whatever the “real” foundation of Ugg Australia, it is apparent that today Ugg Australia is known for quality sheepskin boots – and other products.
