Ugg is the term that Kiwis(New Zealanders) used for the sheep shearling type boot forever... Noone ever trademarked the name here...but that is what they called them. Tons of different people make them here.
Then an Austrailan company trademarked the name with their boots.
Kiwis don't like that very much.
Anywho---there are lots of places you can buy them in New Zealand for lots less money and the quality isr eally good.(I can post links if you need them-I can ask around if anyone needs info)
I need to geta pair for me for next winer.(it is spring here right now )

Uggs really is what we might call "slippers" right? It's just a term for the footwear. We went through this discussion last year on here...some swear up and down that "Uggs" are better than the "fake" uggs...only the name brand will do. But that's really all anyone is buying...the namebrand (which was trademarked by a US company - argh, what's the name of them again?).
I have Target uggs that I love...I have two pair I don't need that are NIB if anyone is interested...dark lavender & pink...both size 9. I just always wear my tan ones.
