Using only the finest materials to construct the most comfortable and luxurious of products, UGG® Australia boots and footwear are loved by everyone from surfers to senators. The brand was born when surfer Brian Smith brought a bag of sheepskin boots from his native Australia to the United States, and the durability, moisture-wicking and temperature regulating abilities of the two-faced sheepskin material made the boots an instant hit with surfers here in the U.S.A. Today the brand has vastly expanded to include a variety of styles, though all UGG® footwear retains the luxuriously comfortable elements of the original boots that started it all.
