The Science Behind Uggs

Genuine Uggs are made from the highest quality Grade A sheepskin available. This sheepskin normally originates from lambswool. The woollen fleece is used to line the interior of the boots and they have a tanned or coloured outer surface. Sheepskin is renowned for its natural thermostatic qualities, which means that it acts as an insulator for your feet.

What Does Thermostatic Mean For Uggs?

As Uggs are made from sheepskin, a naturally thermostatic material that breathes, the boots will automatically regulate the temperature of your feet throughout the day, to ensure that they are kept as close to body temperature as possible.

Most people assume that UGGs are meant for the winter, but as they will keep your feet warm in winter and cool in the summer you can wear them all year round. In fact, they will keep your feet at the right temperature even though outside it might be 30 degrees below or 80 degrees above freezing.

Let Your Feet Breathe In Uggs

As sheepskin is a natural product it breathes. This is how it regulates your body temperature – it takes heat away when your feet are too hot, or traps it when they are slightly chilly. In order to maximise from the insulating benefits of Uggs you shouldn’t wear any socks at all, even in the darkest coldest days of winter!

Uggs Take Moisture Away

Many people assume that as UGGs are made from sheepskin they will make your feet sweaty and the boots will become laden with moisture. This is not the case. The sheepskin actually wicks moisture away to keep your feet dry and allow air to circulate freely 70.

UGGs are Flame and Static Electricity Resistant

Aside from being thermostatic, sheepskin is also flame resistant and static electricity resistant too.
