Uggs appeared
in the fashion industry as the shoes with the loaded history and distinguishing
ethnic style. Uggs designed for sever winter days are highly trendy today. The popularity
is phenomenal since uggs are loved by celebrities, ordinary people, artists and
just workers. They are rather acknowledged al over the world in spite of the critics’
words that the Australian winter shoes is the ugliest shoes ever designed.
Ugg boots
come as unisex boots, made of twin-faced sheepskin with the fleece lining on
the inside and with a tanned outer surface from suede, often with a synthetic
sole. They are somehow shapeless, short or knee-line shoes. Initially uggs appeared
in Australia and New Zealand and
during the World War I the Australian military pilots used to wear uggs to keep
legs in warmth in non-hermetic planes flying high in the sky. They were called fug
boots contracted form of flying ugg boots. During 60s and 70s uggs were
introduced to surfers and sports swimmers when warm shoes from sheepskin helped
to stay warm after stay in water. In the early 2000 uggs captured women’s minds
whatever age, from fashionmongers to plain office workers and famous Hollywood stars.
The uggs have
the absolute advantage to other shoes: thanks to the inner layer of natural
wool the uggs is the warmest shoes in the world. The temperature inside the
shoes is close to the temperature of the body and that is why uggs can be worn
without warm tights or socks even in the sever frost weather.
UGGs –
trend or comfort?
In the
early 2000 the uggs traveled from Australia
to America
where they turned into one of the most popular shoes ever. Hollywood
celebrities were first appeared wearing uggs and shot by paparazzi time and
again taking pictures of Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica
Parker in Los-Angeles streets wearing UGGs and casual wear. And thus, it is reasonable
why uggs became so trendy. When the celebrated TV hostess Oprah Winfrey listed uggs
as one of her favorite shoe models, the Ugg Australia Company engaged in
production of these shoes, was hard to meet the demand for their product
increased to incredible times. The fashion brand Jimmy Choo announced on
creation of the capsule collection of ugg-shoes in collaboration with the Ugg
Australia Company.
The fashion
critics who are rather skeptic about the new trend popular throughout
several years
assume that the high demand for uggs is based upon the fame of Hollywood
celebrities and the uggs will outdate whenever
in the nearest future. As a matter of fact, apart from the exclusive
comfort,
uggs have no other advantages to classic shoes while the worst drawback
they
have is not so nice look. The subtle fabric the uggs are made from gibe
them a little bit domestic andhousehold look, a bit saggy and loose,
though. Matched with jeans for every day wear uggs look
casual but applicable but in combination with other garments, as
dresses,
skirts and business trousers, the uggs look too ridiculous and
confronting s
the taste of style.
Some models
of ugg style boots are made from kangaroo fur and leather. Sheepskin is the
expensive fabric in some countries an, thus, synthetic boots were also
manufactured, cheaper and looking the same as unique uggs. Derided as fake in
fashion industry, the lower price made them affordable by the most large retail
chains to go to end-consumers.
Uggs – ugly
and dangerous
In spite of
the opinion expressed by Hollywood celebrities
and teenage-girls about the comfort the uggs give to them, the American orthopaedist
express their strict concern in health. They are rather negative-aimed to the
Australian shoes as well as fashion critics. The uggs that seem to be very
comfortable and cozy can damage your feet since they have no good inner sole. The
flat sole and extraordinary lightness of ugg models do not provide support to
the feet and the heel which can bring to serious problems with feet and legs in
future. The point is that without the inner support caused to muscles of the calves,
the ankle joint and the feet experience additional pressure which can result in
pain in muscles.
So,
whatever the trend is uggs for today, we know we’d better wear such shoes for a
short period of time when we really face the risk to get frozen. And when we
change shoes appropriately as per occasions, we are not exposed to any serious problems
with feet and legs save we are not inclined to them.
