Where Does Ugg Boot Come From? by mandypettt: 8:40pm On Nov 01, 2021
Some believe that the ugg boot is actually a type of boot used in the game of polo. However, there is little evidence to support this theory. Others believe that the word chuka was called "Jadpour" because of its resemblance to the boots of polo players.

Another theory is about the Hindi word chukar. The term Chuka in Hindi means circle or rotation. In ancient times, the word was used for walking and walking in the city. Therefore, it can be assumed that polo players preferred these shoes to polo shoes for walking after exercising for more comfort. There are a few shoes that are cosnoidered a real alternative for Ugg. Here is an alternative list.

Ugg Boot History
Since the Chuka boot was used by polo players, it can be assumed that Chuka originated in India among the British Army units that played polo and quickly made its way into the fashion industry.

Chuka was first used in the United States in 1924 by the Duke of Windsor. Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly. He was very fond of these boots and often wore them among the people. For this reason, the Ugg boot became very popular among the people. It can be said that Chuka was the most popular type of men's shoes in the 1940s and 1950s due to its comfort and special style, which was welcomed by both as formal and casual shoes.

In the other side of the story, British soldiers in World War II campaign desert wore a standard Ugg boot called a desert boot. The desert boot had a thick plastic sole instead of a leather sole.

One of the ardent fans of Ugg boots was the famous Hollywood actor "Steve McQueen" who introduced Chuka boots to the unofficial brigade of that time.
