Ugg Shoes & Boots
The Sheepskin Boot That Became an Icon
Looking for the soft, unmistakable feel of Ugg? The brand is best known for its iconic sheepskin boots, originally created to keep surfers' feet warm after early-morning sessions on the California coast. That same combination of soft sheepskin, easy comfort, and unmistakable design turned the Classic Boot from beachwear into an everyday wardrobe staple.
Today, Ugg goes well beyond the Classic Boot, with boots, slippers, sandals, sneakers, and other footwear that bring its signature approach to different seasons and ways of dressing. Depending on the style, you'll find sheepskin or UGGplush™ linings, cushioned footbeds, lightweight outsoles, and water-repellent treatments.
From California Beaches to Everyday Style
Ugg's story begins in 1978, when Australian surfer Brian Smith arrived in Southern California and wanted to create the kind of sheepskin boot he knew from Australia to warm his feet after cold surf sessions. Other surfers quickly embraced the idea, and the boot that began as post-surf footwear started finding a life beyond the beach.
The Classic Boot eventually became the defining image of Ugg. What started as a practical way to warm cold feet evolved into everyday footwear and then into a recognizable part of fashion and popular culture.

Inside the UGG Sheepskin Insole
1. Plush 17 mm Sheepskin. A thick, soft sheepskin layer provides a cozy feel underfoot while naturally helping regulate temperature and wick away moisture.
2. Open-Cell PU Foam. The open-cell polyurethane foam layer contributes to the insole’s cushioning and helps support breathability.
3. Dual-Density EVA Foam Base. The EVA base works with the PU foam to provide lasting cushioning and supportive comfort.
Materials and construction may vary by style.
The Ugg Difference
Ugg didn't set out to make a fashion icon. It started with a very simple problem: cold feet after surfing.
Brian Smith brought the Australian tradition of sheepskin footwear to Southern California in 1978, creating a boot that surfers could use to warm up after early-morning sessions. The combination of soft sheepskin, simple construction, and California surf culture eventually made the Classic Boot recognizable far beyond the beach.
That's what makes Ugg different: a piece of functional sheepskin footwear became an unmistakable part of everyday style.

Fit & Comfort Tips
Know How the Classic Boot Should Feel
The Classic is designed with a relaxed feel rather than a structured, locked-in fit. Make sure your heel feels secure enough while still allowing natural movement.
Check Your Toes
Your toes should have room to move without touching the front of the boot.
Consider Your Socks
Think about how you'll actually wear the boots. A thicker winter sock can change the fit considerably compared with wearing them barefoot or with a thin sock.
Don't Size Up Just for Extra Room
Too much extra length can allow your foot to slide around inside the boot. Start with your normal size and evaluate the actual fit.
