Description

Description

The Ugg Boot is an Australian designed footwear that was first manufactured in the 1930s. It is thought that it came about out of sheep/wool farmers' simple need to have warm feet in the cold southern Australian winters. At the time Australia was already the largest producer of wool in the world, so there were plenty of sheep. An Authentic Ugg Boot is described as "a boot made of twin faced sheep's skin with fleece in the middle". So it is broadly assumed that with lots of people looking after sheep in a cold winter climate, that this is where the Ugg Boot originated.

The skin shop started in a tiny church in 1968. The church was built in the early 1930's and is now heritage listed in Australia. Although the organ and pews are long gone the church still has a 1930's appeal.

The skin shop now known as Downunder UGG Boots Australia has been trading with the highest quality hand picked sheepskins for 40 years.

It has had the privilege of serving four generations of families and is well know throughout Victoria, Australia, UK and the USA for its high quality genuine ugg boots at reasonable prices and of course friendly helpful customer care.

Order online or visit the Carrum Downs outlet to find your perfect ugg boot.
