Famous gents have decided to follow in the stylish footsteps of their female counterparts and embraced the trend for the comfy Ugg boot.

A number of high-profile men have been spotted in the bulky footwear of late, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis.

It seems Brits are jumping on the Ugg bandwagon too, with Rolling Stones guitarists Ronnie Wood and Pirates of The Caribbean actor Orlando Bloom both seen padding around London in the shoes.

Connie Rishwain, Australias president of Ugg, which is thought to be derived from the word ugly, described the boots as “feel-good” items.

“Were all about comfort and luxury and at a time when people might not be able to remodel their house or buy a new car, they can buy a pair of boots,” she added.

Women to have previously sported the Ugg boot look include Brit model Kate Moss, actress Sienna Miller and Pamela Anderson.
