<P> A noteworthy manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand is the Luda Productions of Australia, which has roughly 75% of the market share in Australia; EMU Australia; Euram Ugg; Blue Mountains Ugg Boots; Original UGG Boots; Mortels Sheepskin Factory; Bearpaw; Uggs - N - Rugs; Binder Corporation and Westhaven Industries . Deckers is the leading manufacturer of the footwear style outside Australia . By 2010, worldwide sales by Australian manufacturers combined equaled 5.9% of Deckers UGG boots sales, with UGG dominating the world market . </P> <P> There are different claims to the origins of the ugg boot style . Artisanal sheepskin boots were known in rural Australia during the 1920s, and were reportedly worn by shearers as they found them resistant to wool yolk, which would rot their ordinary boots . However, the date of commercial manufacturing began remains unclear . The boots were reportedly being manufactured in 1933 by Blue Mountains Ugg Boots of New South Wales . Frank Mortel of Mortels Sheepskin Factory has stated that he began manufacturing the boots in the late 1950s . Surfer Shane Stedman of Australia has stated in interviews that he invented the ugg boot . Perth sheepskin boot manufacturers Bruce and Bronwyn McDougall of Uggs - N - Rugs have manufactured the boots since the late 1970s . </P> <P> The origin of the term "ugg" is also unclear . Stedman registered the trademark "UGH - BOOTS" in Australia in 1971, and in 1982 registered the "UGH" trademark . Frank Mortel claims that he named his company's sheepskin boots "ugg boots" in 1958 after his wife commented that the first pair he made were "ugly ." Some accounts have suggested that the term grew out of earlier variations, such as the "fug boots" worn by United Kingdom Royal Air Force pilots during World War I . </P> <P> The 1970s saw the emergence of advertising using the UGG and UGH terms both in trade names and as a generic term in Australia . The Macquarie Dictionary of the Australian language first included a definition for "ugg boot" as a generic term for sheepskin boots in its 1981 edition . (After Stedman complained to the editors of Macquarie, a trademark notation was added to subsequent editions indicating that "UGH" was a trade mark). </P>
