Uggs: DIY pattern

Ugg boots are a comfortable and practical product presented to us as a gift by the shoe industry. At first they became widespread in the West, and only then did a wave of unprecedented popularity reach Russia.

Where did Uggs come from?

A model of ridiculous but comfortable boots, shoemakers spied on Australian farmerswho used them 100 years ago. Ugli boots (translated as “ugly boots”) were necessary for them and indispensable in their hard work.

Farmers traveled a lot on foot in any weather, and these chuni were made only from natural suede and sheepskin, which sheep farmers had in abundance. These materials retained heat for a long time, and the loose cut of the boot did not squeeze the leg and gave comfort when walking.

In the 1990s. the modern world has learned about ugg boots, with an easy feed from surfer Brian Smith. He brought several pairs to the USA to sell, and then, a few years later, opened a shoe company and registered his brand under the logo "UGG - Australia".

From that time on, a wave of well-deserved fame began to roll in. At first, it affected pilots of the US military and civil aviation, freedom-loving punks, and then the entire Hollywood beau monde changed their shoes to UGG boots. That year, these peculiar boots were named "Brand of the Year".

Features of ugg boots

Everything is good, time-tested. Just like Australian farmers, we all want to keep our feet warm. Uggs are shoes for every day, which are chosen by consumers, regardless of their type of activity and age.

On a country trip, on an active walk with a child and other situations where you need to walk a lot, it’s easy to put on and quickly take off, adults and children love to do this in ugg boots.

Constructive The differences between men's, women's and children's models are conditional, but in the external design there are some features, inherent in one category or another:

Male models

Representatives of the stronger sex, prefer short UGG boots.

Traditional color palettes for men are brown, black and beige, without unnecessary decorative elements.

These ankle boots are suitable for jeans, straight or tapered, and jackets, parkas, sheepskin coats, in Casual style.

Women's

The combination of a free-form and voluminous top of the boot makes the owner’s leg visually slimmer and thinner.
