Winter in Australia isn't complete without UGGs
While the term "Ugg boots" often also refers to similar styles by different manufacturers, nothing beats the true UGG Australia brand. UGGs are traditionally a unisex shoe that is made from sheepskin, with fleece on the inside and tanned hide on the exterior.
Why we love UGG slippers
The design of the UGG boot is said to have originated back in the early 1900s with Australian shearers, but the UGG brand was designed by an Aussie in the 1960s living in California.
For years, the shoes were worn as part of the surfie culture across the UK and the USA, a trend that stretched around the world in the years after. But for Aussies, it's all about creature comforts, and UGGs are most commonly worn around the home as slippers.
When it comes to cold weather boots, UGGs are the go-to for many. They're considered warm, comfortable, durable and stylish. They're designed to last and will generally live through years, even decades, of winter wearing before they need replacing. Provided you take care of them (you can even machine-wash your UGGs).
Buying the right men's UGG slippers
One of the most important things you need to think about with your UGGs is the sizing. You want them to be snug, but you certainly don't want them to be too tight. The more you wear your men's UGG slippers, the more the wool will flatten and mould to your foot – so you want to make sure you account for that extra space when you first buy the boots. The best way to get the right size is to measure your feet and check it against the description in the listing.
You can also buy UGG Australia boots and slippers for women, boys and babies on eBay. Find plenty of colours available on eBay, as well as ankle height, calf height and even knee-high designs.
