Holiday Season Must Have- Ugg Boots

















Undoubtedly the hottest item of the year for surfers is a pair of Ugg Boots. Scratch that, the hottest item of the year for everyone in America is a pair of Ugg Boots. The past several years have seen these uber comfortable sheepskin boots  gain mainstream notoriety as one of fashions biggest sellers. 

With public endorsements from such celebrities as Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Pamela Anderson, Ugg Boots have captured the feet of many, and 

Still with peak sales occurring during the month of December they have come to be one of Christmas times hottest gift ideas.

Unfortunately, within the past decade as the corporatization tactics of the Deckers Outdoor Company has led to market dominance of their “Ugg” brand of these uggboots, the company has lost touch with many people who respect the ugg boot lifestyle. 

Ugg Inc. has grown their brand to become synonymous with American Teenage girls.  A far cry from the boots’ origins in Australia and New Zealand amongst outdoorsmen and surfers.

 The Ugg Corporatization has made if difficult for men to wear their wooly boots without being submitted to harsh ridicule and hateful comments.

Everyday surfers choose to freeze their little toes off by wearing sandals or shoes when their feet could instead be cozy in a pair of uggs. Surfers have been repping uggs since the 1960s when they would don them coming out of the water to keep their feet warm. Surfer Brian Smith popularized the boot in the United States by offering them in his surf shop stores.

Hopefully Christmas 2010 is the year that uggboots make their return to all those isolated admirers in the world. For too long have they been hated on, its time someone steps up and demands a return to normalcy. Hopefully the links to different providers below can help you decide what pair you yourself like and not what pair the market and fashion have told you to like.
