The company that designs the product is Ugg Australia. They also own the factory in China where it is being manufactured. It's just cheaper for them to hire Chinese people and do it on their land (low overhead such as leases, electricity, etc). That's a common practice among almost all businesses.

If you look into the company's web site it tells you that they do not manufacture Ugg footwear themselves but import much of it from the Far East. Some is made in Australia and New Zealand (about 1%) but most of the cheaper items in the far east. The company says that all it's foorwear is made to 'exacting standards' but obviously it can make far more profit on items made in China where wages are about $30 a month as opposed to probably $400 a week in Australia.
Here's some infor i found.
Well we all know about this Ugg Boots fashion craze that's hit the world don't we? Those ugly fluffy looking boots that originate from Australia. But how is the humble Ugg Boot made?
The number one essential factor needed for manufacturing a genuine Australian Ugg Boot is the material (the sheepskin hide). You may be aware that their are plenty of different ugg boots styles popping up on the internet these days. If you do a few basic searches on the net you will find yourself a cheap pair of non-authentic uggs somewhere, but let me tell you 99% of ugg boots sold on the internet are made in china. China made Australian ugg boots? Hmm how does that work? Anyway these China boots are maufactured using inferior sheepskin internal material and probably suede external material which doesn't allow the boot to breath and leaves you with a smelly boot you wont want to put back on after 4-5 wears.
These china made copies just dont stand up to the Genuine Australian Made Boot. So one things for sure if your interested in buying a pair of sheepskin ugg boots on the internet or anywhere for that matters, dont try to save a dollar or two when purchasing your boots?
If you want a boot that's warm in winter cool in summer then you must insist on a boot manufactured with Genuine Australian double faced Sheepskin preferably Australian Merino Sheepskin.
Personally I wouldn't buy them!

Australia, whats the version? they both seem the very similar. human beings arent gonna flow round checking your tag, and plus you would possibly want to imagine they could be extra severe priced from Australia. maximum folk might want to imagine of the single made in China as a knock off variety.

Because the "happy" people of the COMMUNIST WORKERS PARADISE are FORCED to slave for the commonweal of the state. Communist China is the model upon which Hillary and the DNC would like for the American to labor under.

The same reason that Ford automobiles are made in Mexico and Canada.
