ugg boot

Cozy sheepskin slipper

An ugg boot is a sheepskin boot with a soft, fleece-lined interior and a flat sole, originally from Australia.

The boots are worn for warmth and comfort rather than outdoor durability: She shuffled to the mailbox in her ugg boots.

Ugg boots became a global fashion item in the early 2000s, often worn casually with leggings or pajamas.
