Originally in Australia and New Zealand this comfortable and warm footwear was being worn by social groups such as Bogans,westies and Bevans in public.However,most other Australians would only wear them around the house or at the most just on a trip to the local shop.The cheap ugg boots certainly became popular during the 1960's with surfers and competitive swimmers as they kept them warm whilst out of the water.
