Shoes

Beginning with their perennial favorite, the classic shearling boot, UGG footwear has come a long way from its surfer-centric origins. Founded by Australian-born Brian Smith and Doug Jensen in California, their start may have been slow, but it grew steadily until they gained international attention by outfitting the U.S. team with boots for the Lillehammer Olympic Games. Thus, their development as a global brand began, rising through the late 90’s and landing themselves on Oprah’s famed Favorite Things list in the early aughts. There is nothing like an Oprah endorsement to send your brand stratospheric, and that’s exactly what it did. The 2000’s were the era of the UGG shearling boot ? the iconic style showing up on the feet of shoe queen Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, endless celebrities, and every teenager lucky enough to get mom to buy a pair. They collaborated with Jimmy Choo, launched additional shoe styles and home goods, and kept their brand DNA going strong. Now you can buy their shoes in an array of styles, including UGG sandals, UGG slippers, shearling clogs, leather booties, and more. There’s a lot of variety in the UGG collection at Neiman Marcus, but there is one constant you’ll always have room for in your closet: the original UGG boot. Tall, short, or mini, these shearling lined, incomparably comfy boots are a staple that’s here to stay.
