The combination of its soft shank and sheepskin interior means that Ugg boots are designed for casual, short-term usage, and not for situations which require sturdy, protective footwear, as the design emphasis is on style and comfort rather than protecting the feet. Due to the nature of the material, cleaning products should never be applied directly to the sheepskin, as this may cause permanent damage.
While in the boot, the sockless foot is in full contact with the sheepskin lining, thereby maximizing the insulative properties of the boot.The mid-calf shaft, while not encasing the entire lower foot in wool, further enhances the thermal qualities of the boot by encasing the ankle and lower portion of the leg. The wide, rounded toebox, wide shaft, and wide heelbox with a heel-less sole enhance the comfort level by providing a non-constricting space for the foot.The durable sole in the classic Ugg measures at the toe approximately 1/2 inch, at the arch 3/4 inch, and at the heel 1 inch. The thick padding of the sole increases foot comfort during movement, while the soft shank ensures that the weight of the boot is minimized.
Since humans first cultivated sheep, many ancient cultures have made soft sheepskin boots.[citation needed] Their popularity became obscured once leather tanning of more durable leather products like cowhide increased. Unlike cowhide, the sheepskin is soft and easily abraded, resulting in its usage historically reserved for non-taxing usage.[citation needed] In modern history, apparently sheepskin boots gained in popularity as a result of World War I and World War II, when they were popular with aviators because of the need to maintain warmth in non-pressurized planes at high altitudes.[citation needed] An exhibit of a WWI aviator's outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots.[citation needed]Ugg boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water.[citation needed] Uggs became ubiquitous among Southern California surfers and Southern California downhill skiers, and from there, Uggs, which name comes from the Australian slang *UGH* for ugly and was thereafter used by everyone for the Aussie UGG boot, were popularized by Hollywood into the American mainstream and later the worldwide market.[citation needed]Since Ugg, by an American company and calling their label UGG@Australia, mass production moved to China in 2005, the Ugg has exploded onto the world market and gained in popularity. Uggs have been identified as a fashion trend for both sexes since the early 2000s.[2][5] Like fashion throughout history, Ugg boots ride the vagaries of fashion trends, with a growth in popularity for men tied to increased celebrity usage (e.g., actor Leonardo DiCaprio in Uggs).[6] Men and Women especially college age, teens, and tweens wear Uggs with jeans, dresses, shorts and long shirts or sweaters with leggings, footless tights, or knee socks and sometimes without any legwear. Or uggs are worn with jeans tucked in.
