So, UGGs are always talked about being comfortable, durable and above all warm. But how does the material they use differ from normal boots? How does the sheepskin work to keep you feet snugg in winter but cool in summer, the answer is thermostatic material.
The sheepskin material breathes which enables air to flow in and out of the boot. The reason that the breathing can occur, is that the sheepskin has long fleecey fibres which allows air to circulate - creating natrual airflow which helps to regulate the temperature of the boot. This means that any stylish UGG boots you purchase this winter can be worn all summer long.
Airflow will take moisture away from the feet - this will stop your feet sweating and remove any unwanted odours.
Additionally, the material is flame and static electricity resistant!
UGG Boots are often not purchased due to their price tag. However, taking on board that the boots can be worn all year round without resulting in sweaty, hot feet - they are definitely worth the invesment.

UGG Boots - Could Emu take the crown?
UGG Australia Boots have been a fashion favourite for many years. These comfortable boots have been worn by many, making them the king of the the ugg boots. However, there are many contendors to this crown. EMU Boots are one of the brands fighting for that spot. But what makes their boot a worthy contendor?
As you can see the EMU boot is similair in design to the UGG Australia design but has some key elements which might push them ahead;
As you can see the EMU boot is similair in design to the UGG Australia design but has some key elements which might push them ahead;
- EMU boots are made from only the finest Australian sheepskin - gathered from the Western District of Western Australia this provides a dense pile keeping your feet warm, dry and comfortable.
- Specially moudled leather heel cup at the base of the boot for extra support and comfort
- Boasts a dual density emusole - this means that the boot will be extra comfy and will 'form to your foot' after the first wear.
- Differ from UGG boots in that they have a hard wearing rubber outsole, this allows the boot to last much longer.
- The outside of the boots are treated with water resistant material - no longer have to buy expensive protector sprays!

UGG Boots - Make sure they're real.
UGG boots are a must have shoe for keeping your feet warm whilst staying stylish. UGG boots are made of superior quality sheepskin, the superb tailoring can come with a hefty price tag but it's worth every penny. However, many unscrupulous vendors are attempting to sell fake versions of this classic boot. Buying these fake boots may save you putting a dent in your budget but once these fakes begin to fall apart you'll wish you'd never bothered. So, how do you spot if your UGG boots are the real deal?
- The sole of the boot should be quite flexible, a real UGG boot also has the UGG Australia logo embossed onto it. A very very thin sole would also suggest a fake.
- The label on the heel of the boot should not be too high up. The best way to spot this is to check the boot against a boot on the official UGG Australia website.
- UGG boots' fur is made of quality sheepskin - fakes will have a synthetic look and will often have a chemical smell to them (this is due to the dyes used to paint the fake fur)
- Some guides state that the style of box that the boots come in indicate whether they're fakes or not, this is not the case. UGG boots come in many different styles of boxes, so don't use this as a predictor of whether your boots are the real deal or not.
The above tips will come in handy if you have already received boots. But, how do you spot a dodgy on line vendor, before you hand over your card details? Here are a few pointers:
- Check if the site is listed on the UGG Australia website. This will make sure they are a registered vendor.
- Make sure the site gives you a full postal address not just a mailbox.
- A company that only provides a mobile number instead of a landline is also a sign that the site is a hoax.
- It might take some snooping but check who the site is registered to and where.
These tips will help you make sure that you get your feet inside a pair of genuine UGG boots.

UGG Boots at their Best.
UGG Australia showed that not only could they provide classic style year after year, but also that they could bring new designs to the market with the launch of the UGG sneaker in January. UGG Australia have managed to do it again with their fantastic range of winter UGG boots.
The key boot from this new range is the UGG Delaine. It manages to retain the classic UGG two face design, whilst at the same time incorporating the traditional trainer style to create an original ugg boot look.UGG Australia have given this shoe the tag line "sneaker redefined", which I feel perfectly sums up this line.
These UGG boots also come in the classic tall UGG boot design, perfect for keeping your legs warm this winter!
Along side this winter favourite, UGG have also launched the UGG Abbie. UGG Australia are proving that they are keeping with this season's trend, the clogg. The UGG Abbie, is matched to this timeless design, whilst still retaining the warmth and luxury of the trademark UGG sheepskin. Additionally, the wooden outsole means this shoe will become a staple for any wardrobe.
These two ranges are just a select sample of the fantastic UGG winter catalogue. There are several more UGG boots available this season. It's important not to forget that this range incorporates all the UGG elements;
