The Ugg Boot or just Uggs is a generic term for a style of sheepskin boot which has been produced in Australia and New Zealand for almost 200 years. Originally the were called "Ug or Ugh Boots" which is short for "Ugly". However an American Importer (Koolaburra) presented the idea that the name Ugg comes from the way that the boot "hugs" the wearer's foot and legs. However because of trademark issues, Uggs are more often than not known in the retail world simply as Sheepskin UGG Classic Short Boots.
