Shearer's UGG Australia

Shearer's Ugg is the iconic brand name of Ugg Original Pty. Ltd., an Australian Ugg boots manufacturer for over 25 years. Based in Sydney, the company began making sheepskin products in 1988 before specializing in the manufacture of high quality ugg boots.

UGG boots became popular among shearers in the 1920’s. In the colder months the shearers would take a piece of wool from a dead sheep carcass and wrap it around their feet  to keep them warm. They  referred to them as UGLY BOOTS. Good old Australian slang shortened  “Shearer’s  ugly boots”  to UGG boots. Thus, UGG  boots date back  as far as the 1920’s in Australia.
