Originated in Australia and New Zealand, the extremely warm and soft Ugg Boots have become a major hit with celebrities and trendsetters alike over the past few years.

You may be tempted to bring home a pair of Uggs, but you need to be extra careful while picking one, since there have been reports from leading podiatrists and chiropodists that these boots could turn out to be awful for your feet.

Dr. Ian Drysdale, Head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine believes that people who are wearing Ugg boots are suffering pains in their feet and knees.

He also said that the footwear does not give proper support from the inside and are flat like slippers so it’s not a good idea to wear it outside frequently, just so you could keep up to the latest fashion.

UGG Australia warned people about the copies and says its boots are "made with the finest materials and designed with the utmost care and attention to detail" including "structured heel counters" for "substantial support”.
