What you need to know about Ugg Boots.

I have been getting some e-mail lately about Ugg Boots and the different brands that we sell on our sites http://www.ugg.com.au/ and http://www.themanufacturer.com.au/

What does it all mean? - read on.

First I want to say that we sell 3 brands of boots on our web sites - Jumbo Ugg (Aust Made), Mark Stone (Made in China) and Ugg Australia (Made in China)

What are Ugg Boots?

Ugg Boots are a traditional Australian handicraft. Aussies have been making this type of footwear for generations and it is a generic term for a style of footwear - in particular sheepskin footwear.

A while back an American company called Deckers Corp trademarked the term Ugg Boot and the term Ugg Australia - everywhere except the Australia and started making Ugg Boots (too).

Some customers (in the UK predominantly) believe that "Ugg Australia" is the true "original" brand as this brand is advertised heavily there - I presume. This brand is a great but expensive product and some people are none too happy went they find out these boots are actually made in China.

Some people believe that only Australian Made Ugg Boots are the 'original' ones and this is because it is well known that Australian Sheepskin is the best in the world (due to the unique weather conditions here) and they want the best.

Occationally people really wanted one brand got the other brand and they are not happy with us and that is why we give people a choice to buy the brand that suits them and their budget!

This year we started selling Mark Stone fashion boots due to the demand for a more affordable fashion boot - and these boots are flying out the door, the Cardigans are our biggest seller!

In Australia and in many other countries - Ugg Australia is virtually unknown and most people prefer the real Australian Made Ugg Boots (such as out Jumbo Ugg range).

Our sites offer a choice of what we think are the best Ugg Boots on the market.
