Comfort reigns supreme with UGG trainers
UGG is an Australian company that cottoned onto the idea of creating ultra-warm utilitarian booties for surfers in the 1960s. When UGG trainers first hit the world fashion market about a decade later, they received a mixed response. Many people mistook them for novelty outdoor slippers, but this myth was soon dispelled by their durable outdoor credentials.
The original UGG footwear consisted of a single range of sheepskin boots, with leather on the outside and cosy sheep wool on the inside. As a result of this simple age-old construction, they are extremely comfortable while also being breathable. They have insulation properties against the cold, with soles made from durable synthetic material.
You can still get these original UGG trainers on Zalando. They have deeply cushioned soles with flat heels and rounded tips. They're easy to slip on and close with a side zip. In addition to their superior warmth, they are also water-resistant. All of these features make them ideal to wear in a variety of settings.
UGG shoes in a variety of modern designs
Over the years UGG shoes have been deviating from their original design to incorporate the more fashion-forward styles of modern trainers. These have a more angular, aggressive design, with especially thick and cushioned soles, which remains the main hallmark.
These latter-day trainers tend to have laces rather than zips. They also have the wedge-shaped heels that are typical of modern running shoes and rounded toe tips. As with all models from this label, the synthetic soles are very durable, with deep patterning to provide sure-footed traction.
If you're a fan of high-top trainers, UGG has a selection of these too. They have plush suede uppers with faux fur lined tongues to coddle the tops of your feet. The linings and insoles are made from textile, with synthetic soles. Lightly padded flat heels complete the package. For styling these, casual garments like jeans and light cardigans for a Boho vibe are suitable. Also, any beachwear or outdoor pieces.
Tough and stylish hiking-style boots
UGG trainers also come in hiking boot styles. These are some of the most desirable footwear that the brand makes. They combine ruggedness with the brand's legendary comfort and warmth. They're effectively tougher versions of the original leather and sheepskin design.
The uppers are made from a very breathable leather and textile combination, with thick GORE-TEX collars to ward off the cold. They're also waterproof, so you can literally take them anywhere. Lightly padded insoles combine with robust synthetic outsoles.
When you're looking to combine the comfort of an indoor slipper boot with the features of rugged outdoor footwear, look no further than the selection of UGG trainers on Zalando.
