About UGG
It’s a good thing that Aussie surfer Brian Smith remembered to bring a bag full of sheepskin boots (an Australian footwear staple for centuries) along for his buddies on a 1978 California surfing trip. The toasty boots were just what California surfer dudes were looking for to zap the post-surf chill. In no time, the UGG boot line was branded and the sheepskin wonders have since remained perennial favorites of laid-back surfers, light hikers and casual travelers.
UGG boots have a comfort level that’s hard to top, thanks to thick foam insoles and flexible midsoles. UGG’s trademark suede uppers and genuine sheepskin linings are more than just a style statement—they offer luxurious warmth while wicking away moisture. Plus, structured suede heel guards add support and protection to the mix.
For those who want the same high-quality features and comfortable benefits, there are men’s, women’s and kids’ UGG slippers. These are great for indoor activity (or inactivity!), but many models also feature enough traction to transition outside or to the store.
Whether you’re in the mood to shroud your soles in warm comfort at the office, chilling around the campsite, tackling errands or hanging ten like the Aussies, UGG’s got a shoe for you.
At REI, you’ll find top-rated and top-selling footwear from UGG, plus plenty of sale and clearance bargains.
