uggs

Fuzzy Australian footwear

Uggs are a style of sheepskin boots with fleece lining, originally from Australia.

The soft, warm boots became a global fashion phenomenon in the early 2000s, often worn casually with the tops folded down to show the fleece: She threw on her Uggs to run to the store.

The name derives from "ugly," reflecting their utilitarian origins before becoming trendy.
