In Australia, they say surfers originally made them popular as the sheepskin lining was comfy / nice and warm when they came out of the water (and presumably, if an [ugg boots](http://www.go4uggboot.com/) gets wet on an Australian beach, it’ll dry out in no time). Exported to the British high-street and selling for upwards of ?80 for a pair of the original article, I think you’d be a bit heart-broken if your super-expensive fashion boots got all soaked with slush / mud, wouldn’t you…  
  
  
  
 I can certainly appreciate the comfort angle of the Uggs brand now though, for now I am the proud owner of pair of sheepskin-lined suede Ugg flip-flops - which might well sound like / be the most stupid thing ever
