Before you head for nearest mall to purchase your very own pair of ugg Australia boots , stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Haven’t I seen these boots before?” If you are college-aged or younger, you have seen these boots everywhere including on Internet, in store catalogues, and in stores themselves. You may even have a pair or two right now in your very own closet. But if you are close to or even a part of baby boomer generation, then you likely remember these boots from seventies. Surfers wore them back then and made ugg Australia boots popular on surfing circuit.

That’s right. The look of ugg Australia boots has been on fashion scene before. In fact, these sheep skinned boots were around even before seventies. World War II fighter pilots wore a similar style of boot while in combat. And before that, Australians tied sheep skin scraps around their feet while working outdoors because sheep skin kept their feet warm. It’s even said that name, ugg, is short for word, ugly. Believe it or not, people who wore these boots in previous times thought that style of boot, while practical, was plain old ugly.
