It all started in 1978, when Australian surfer Brian Smith quit his job as an accountant and moved to Southern California to surf. Inspired by a classic artisanal sheepskin boot that had become a loved essential for rebellious surfers in Australia and New Zealand, the surfer-turned-entrepreneur brought the warm and relaxed style to a new world of beachgoers. The Classic Boot was born. By the mid 80s, UGG became a symbol of SoCal beach culture, gaining momentum through surf shops from San Diego to Santa Cruz.
Adopted by the fashion elite and then the world, the brand has since expanded beyond the icon to design footwear, apparel, accessories, and homeware with an uncompromising attitude toward creativity, quality, and craftsmanship. UGG is dedicated to long-lasting quality and enduring designs that transcend trends - an industry leader in premium materials, lending comfort and support where and when you need it most, and empowering you to feel however you want to feel.
