In honor of Small Business Saturday, we want to give thanks to all our wonderful customers who made the decision to shop small. When you buy a pair of shoes at Hansen’s, you're a person with a name not just another number and data point at the big box stores. Shopping small businesses helps provide jobs, support the local economy, and give back to your community. As a family-owned business that’s been around for over forty years, we want to share our story!

Whether you’re looking for everyday shoes or cozy slippers, UGG has been the go-to brand for trendy and timeless styles for over 50 years. After realizing life as an accountant was not fulfilling, UGG founder, Brian Smith, moved to California and decided to make sheepskin footwear and other apparel for surfers to wear after they finished surfing the waves. UGG helped to define the California lifestyle – their extreme comfort, soft interiors, and indoor/outdoor fluidity made them the perfect multifunctional shoe.
