Comfort, style, and luxury can be difficult to combine into one boot. However, that is exactly what UGG Boots for women manage to accomplish. The company was founded in 1978 by a surfer named Brian Smith. He lugged a bag of sheepskin boots from Australia to sunny California and found a ready market. In 1995 UGG Australia was acquired by Deckers Outdoor Corporation in the United States and the UGG brand combining luxury and comfort took off.

UGG boots use the finest sheepskin and treats both the fleece and the skin side. It is an extra step but results in extra comfort. The A quality sheepskin is durable and very dense while maintaining softness. Like wool, which is the sheared hair of sheep, the fleece side is a natural insulator. Your feet stay at body temperature even if it is freezing on the outside. Sheepskin wicks moisture away and improves air circulation. Important functions when you are talking about feet.

UGGs may be best known for their boots but the footwear comes in many styles for men, women, and children. Here are a few of the more fun styles for women.

Sandals and Flip Flops

Flip flops are summer perennial favorites. Women's Fluffie comes in chocolate, black and copper. The flip flop combines a durable rubber sole with a fleece instep and soft rubber straps. The Tasmania is a dressed up flip flop featuring straps of decorated leather lined with fleece for extra comfort. The Laguna shows off with a leather strap over soft fleece and a suede instep. The soles are clear rubber infused with cork and ribbed for extra traction.

The Morocco is a bit dressier with a gladiator sandal design. Multi straps cross the foot and fasten around the ankle. The sandal of course is made of sheepskin and comes in cream, black, and brown. Dressier still is the Lourdes with a 3 inch wedge heel. The shoe features a center leather panel to hold the straps in place and a heel cushion of fleece. The perimeter around the sole of the shoe shows off a studded metal decoration.

It is back to casual with Mars, a traditional espadrille made of jute/linen and cotton. The ankle and heel are tied with a perky bow. The Mars comes in chocolate, black, and cream.

Slippers

The Fluff Flip would be at home in any boudoir. It's a classic flip flop design covered in perky pink fleece with a rubber sole for safety. The coquette is a flat backless mule with fleece on the inside and sheepskin on the outside and a molded EVA sole for stability. It comes in black, chocolate and chestnut. The Tasman is a mule with a back. The inside is comfortable fleece and the outside sheepskin. The perimeter of the slipper is decorated with a contrasting chevron pattern.

High Heeled Fashion Boots

When you think UGG you think comfort but you might not think high fashion. And that would be a mistake. The Caroline is a leather boot that reaches mid-calf. The boot is wrapped with a slim snappy strap that twines around the leg and buckles at the top of the boot. The heel is about 2.75 inches and in a contrasting honey color to the black leather of the boot. The Stella is slim sophistication in black with a stacked leather contrasting heel. No need for extra embellishment, the Stella's sleek silhouette doesn't require any.

Sweater Boots

Remember the feeling of wrapping yourself in an old comfortable sweater on a crisp fall day? Recreate that feeling for your feet with the UGG sweater boots. The Cardy is heathered merino wool knitted to resemble a sweater and accented with 3 oversize buttons on the side. The style can be pulled up to reach nearly the knees, scrunched down, or cuffed and folded over for a variety of looks. The insole has a fleece sock to wick moisture away. The heel is protected by a suede guard. The Cardy comes in a rainbow of colors to match nearly every outfit including: cream, indigo, stout (brown), grey, mulberry, jacaranda, pool (aqua), sorbet (pink), black and fig.

Short Boots

The Cove ankle boot is sassy and stylish. The suede boot has a 1.5 inch wedge heel. The boot is wrapped and tied with contrasting suede tasseled ties that meet in the front. It comes in three colors of suede; black, espresso and mocha and three color of leather; fieldstone, black, and gaucho. Gaviota was made for the outdoors and looks it with a stout sturdy frame, ribbed heel, and a lace up collar around the ankle to keep the cold and moisture out.

UGG has a style for just about any occasion except perhaps the very formal. But even then there is the Romantic Flower; a tall classic boot featuring tones of pink, blush, and coral flowers on pink leather.
