Your UGGs may not be the shoes you think they are

• People are realizing that the UGG shoes they've worn for decades may be different than they thought.
• That's because they purchased American-made UGGs — not shoes from Australian brand UGG Since 1974.
• The brands are separate companies with little in common, aside from their nearly identical boots.

Chances are, you probably have a pair of UGG boots in your closet.

And just as likely, they're probably not the Australian-made shoes you think they are.
