UGG Boots from the popular brand UGG® Australia seem like the latest fashion trend, worn by celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Lilly Allen. They are loved by millions of us in the UK, which is why they fly off the shelves of authorised retailers and authorised online retailers. However, there is actually a science behind these boots that make them extra special footwear that everyone should wear.
This is because genuine UGG Boots (not the fake or imitation ones that are itchy scratchy and bad for your feet) are made from the highest quality Grade A sheepskin. As sheepskin is a natural product, normally produced from lambswool, it boasts thermostatic qualities. This means that the real sheepskin boots everyone wants to wear acts as insulators for people’s feet!
The woollen fleece that lines the boots and the tanned or coloured outer surface is made from natural sheepskin which actually breathes. This incredibly clever natural material can actually regulate the temperature of your feet throughout the day to ensure that they remain as close to your body temperature as possible.
So, no matter whether it’s 30 degrees below freezing outside or a very warm 80 degrees above freezing, the wearers feet will be kept at the correct temperature for their body. This means that UGG boot lovers can even wear them in balmy days during the summer and not even feel overheated.
To make the most of sheepskin’s natural thermostatic properties, people who buy them should actually wear them without socks, even during the deepest darkest days of winter. There’s no need to worry about a build up of moisture and a terrible sweaty smell either as sheepskin also does the clever job of dispersing moisture and allowing air to circulate freely so that feet remain dry.
That’s not all either! Sheepskin is healthy for the wearer’s feet too. It contains lanolin, which acts as a moisturiser for feet and encourages healthy blood circulation. To top it all off sheepskin is naturally water repellent, flame resistant and static electricity resistant too!
All in all, UGG Boots are surprisingly scientific and good for your feet. They aren’t just a fashion fad; they have existed for hundreds in years to act as feet warmers in colder climates like the Artic and China. It’s only during the 21st century that they have come to the forefront of fashion. Whether you love UGG boots or you hate them, they are good for your feet!
