UGG Boots

Uggs are claimed as an Australian invention but as with Pavlova and a certain horse (Phar Lap) the Kiwis also claim it as theirs. They are in many of the souvenir shops and of course you will find many stores devoted to UGGs only in all of the cities and large towns. It is a generic brand here but it most countries of the world it is a trademark name.
The Aussies shorten many names and I believe that this name was shortened from 'ugly'!
