Ugg Boot New Zealand Ugg Boots
Uggs New Zealand have always been called Uggs, originally an abbreviation of Ugly. No one bothered with trademarks because Ugg was a generic term. Everyone knew it meant a comfortable, flat-heeled sheepskin boot, although - until the current fashion craze - few people admitted to owning a pair. Brian Iverson, owner of Blue Mountains Ugg Boots, says of Deckers' demands: "It's like saying you can't call a car a car."
The problem is: someone did bother with trademarks. In 1971 a local surf champion, Shane Steadman, decided to capitalise on the growing popularity of Uggs among Australian - and visiting US - surfers, who were starting to recognise the appeal of a snug boot when they emerged shivering from the ocean. He began selling Uggs and registered the name.
Steadman was not the only Australian wave-rider with a sharp eye for a business opportunity. In 1979, so the story goes, Brian Smith arrived in New York with a few pairs of Uggs in his backpack. He set up a company, Ugg Holdings Inc, registered the Ugg trademark in 25 countries and in 1995 sold out to Deckers.
For a long time, not a peep was heard from the new American owners of the iconic Australian boot. The company sent out a flurry of warning letters five years ago, but did not follow them up. According to Middletons, its Melbourne lawyers, it was only when Australian manufacturers began selling uggs new zealand on the internet to meet soaring overseas demand that Deckers felt obliged to crack down.

Polyurethane soles - used by those making cheap imitations of our boots, are dangerous when wet as they are so slippery, they are a shiny plastic that looks cheap and will crack and break. Our sheepskin uggs New Zealand boots have pure rubber soles have the very best traction and will last for many years.
Chinese made boots - Yes uggs New Zealand boots are made in China also - you will not be happy with these, there is very little quality control - and you will need to replace them before a single season. The sheepskins used in China are second grade as they have to buy them from New Zealand or Australia anyway, and they never pay for the best. Read more about Ugg Boot New Zealand Footwear.
