When it comes to ugg boots, there seems to be three kinds of people. Those who love ugg boots, those who hate ugg boots, and those who just aren’t sure what UGG boots on sale are — but, when they find out, they’ll fall into one of the first two categories.

So, first, let’s address those of you who don’t yet know what an ugg boot is. Care and wear tips will follow.

Popular ugg boots - What Are They?
Traditionally, the term “ugg boot” referred to a style of Australian boot made with sheepskin.

During World War I, pilots wore a fleece-lined “FUG” (flying ugg) boot, and a type of ugg boot was also worn in Australia as early as the 1930s by farmers wanting to keep their feet warm. In the 1960s Australian surfers would put on ugg boots to warm their feet after coming in from riding the waves, and people in Australia would often wear ugg boots around the house during the mild winters.

While several Australian companies still manufacture these boots, “UGG” is also a trademark of the boots manufactured by a U.S. company, “UGG Australia.” So many of those Australian manufacturers now are marketing what were formally known as “ugg boots” as “Australian sheepskin boots.”

Whether you call them “sheepskin boots” or “ugg boots,” they are incredibly warm, and soft, and have become a major hit with celebrities and trendsetters alike over the past couple of years. Oprah, Paris Hilton, and several other celebrities are acknowledged fans of ugg boots.
Where the Name “Ugg Boots” Originated
Legend has it that “ugg” is short for “ugly” – so, “ugg boots” apparently meant “ugly boots.” For decades, “ugg” was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia. The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and ugg boots were also known as “ug” or “ugh” boots.

But in the United States, when people refer to “UGG boots,” they’re usually talking about the boots made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of “UGG Australia.”

So if you’re traveling the world and talking about footwear, it’s good to know that when the term “ugg boot” is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot.
Styles of Sheepskin and Ugg Boots
Sheepskin and ugg boots are available in short and tall styles. Women’s ugg boots and sheepskin boots are available in colors from pink and purple, to tan and brown, while men’s are available in the more neutral colors. Some have chunky heels and laces, while others are flat-heeled slip-ons.
When to Wear Sheepskin or Ugg Boots
Sheepskin and ugg boots are a casual type of boot. Ugg boots are exceptionally warm and are great for cold weather (up to -30 degrees Fahrenheit) – however, they should not be worn in excessively muddy or wet conditions. If you are looking for warmth while trudging around the house or the city, a sheepskin or ugg boot will be ideal, but if you need a boot for more severe winter weather conditions, you might want to try a pair of snow boots instead.
What to Wear with Sheepskin or Ugg Boots
For girls and women, ugg boots look fantastic with tight-legged jeans tucked into them, or with short skirts paired with opaque tights or bare legs. For guys, ugg boots work great with jeans, and give a very casual, or rugged look, depending on the jeans or the shirt you wear with your ugg boots. The warmth of a sheepskin or ugg boot means they can be worn without socks or hose, even in some of the coldest conditions.

GAZA (Reuters) – The Islamist group Hamas on Wednesday formally rejected allegations it had committed war crimes during last year’s fighting in Gaza, charges made in a United Nations report.

Hamas officials said the group set out in a 52-page response handed to a U.N. official in Gaza that the killing of three Israeli civilians in rocket attacks during Israel’s December 27, 2008-January 18, 2009 offensive was an accident and military installations had been targeted.

Up to 1,387 Palestinians, including hundreds of civilians, and 13 Israelis, including three civilians, were killed in the war Israel launched with the declared aim of curbing rocket attacks on its territory.

The New York-based Human Rights Watch organisation, commenting last week after Hamas released a summary of the report, said the group’s “claim that its rocket attacks against Israel are not war crimes is factually and legally wrong.”

Human Rights Watch, which also has criticised Israeli conduct in the Gaza war, said “hundreds of rockets rained down on civilian areas in Israel where no military installations were located.”

The Hamas report came in response to a U.N. mission led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone that found Israeli troops and Palestinian militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip committed war crimes.

The Goldstone report, issued in September, gave Israel and Hamas six months to mount credible investigations into their forces’ conduct in the Gaza conflict or face possible war crimes prosecution in The Hague.

Israel has boycotted the U.N. investigation, calling the Goldstone report unbalanced and citing the difficulty of battling militants operating in heavily populated civilian areas.

But last Friday, Israel gave the U.N. a document detailing the Israeli military’s own examinations of the Gaza offensive, disclosing it had launched 36 criminal investigations into the conduct of its forces.

The Israeli military also said that a general and a colonel had been reprimanded for authorising artillery shelling in a crowded neighbourhood in Gaza that hit a U.N. facility.

Amnesty International called the Israeli response “totally inadequate.”

“The investigations undertaken by Israel fail to meet international standards of independence, impartiality, transparency, promptness and effectiveness,” the London-based group said in a statement on its Web site.
