18 Jun 09 Furry, Soft, And Cuddly: My New Ugg Boots
It wasn’t that long ago that I finally took out my credit card and paid a good price for a pair of Ugg Boots. Don’t expect me to be in heels, short skirts, or jewelry all the time, you’ll find me most comfortable in a great fitting pair of jeans. While visiting a good friend of mine in college last year, I was introduced to a really unique fashion boot.
What makes these Ugg brand boots different is how much they weigh. It’s like wearing a pair of really comfortable sandals. These boots are warmer than their suede counterparts because the sheepskin keeps the cold out better. The soles are made of a very lightweight synthetic rubber compound that seems to be perfectly molded to your feet.
Being the same size as my friend, we went out one night and I wore them snugly over my jeans. A nice flower top with puffy sleeves and I have to tell you I looked good. I just couldn’t get over how comfortable these boots were. The following morning, I put them back on, wrote her a check and told her to go get herself another pair.
Imagine the scene, me and Linda having a tug of war with one of the boots, after she successfully wrestled the boot away from me, she swatted me with it across the arm. We must have laughed for over five minute over how stupid we must have looked. I immediately got on her computer and ordered the same exact pair that we were fighting over. Now we obviously don’t have to fight anymore. What I love is that the boots go with anything, we can wear the same boots out but since our outfits can be so different no one will even notice.
Time has passed since I went and visited my dear friend Linda, we still laugh over the Ugg Boot tug of war. Both of us are still wearing our boots too. Linda introduced me to these boots and I think I’ll be wearing them for a very long time. Oh well, as long as they keep making them I’ll keep buying them. The Internet has really saved us, there isn’t anywhere in town where I can get them, but online there’s hundreds of stores that sell them, I can get Uggs for cheap. I hear my laptop calling, and my credit card too.
18 Jun 09 What Makes Uggs Great?
The famous UGG Australian boots are those uniquely, ubiquitous boots that have quickly became the footwear choice of both Hollywood stars and mainstream Americans. While it is very likely that seeing the paparazzi photos of A-list celebrities wearing these products made them more desirable to some people, there is no denying that these are actually very practical and durable boots that can be worn in the worst conditions and still maintain their look and function.
The Ugg design are some of the more straight forward looks that you will find on any type of shoes or boots. There are black Uggs, brown Uggs, blue Uggs, tall Uggs, short Uggs etc. These boots are boots, and they look the part, with most styles having thick foot soles made from rubber, or the patented Vibram material.
High quality leathers and suede are used in the construction of most of the upper portions of the majority of the Ugg line but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up a pair of cheap uggs boots if you know where to look. These products are left to shine without being bedazzled with bright neon colors, sequins or other additional finery. Although there are some styles that use quilted or crocheted materials, boot lovers will find many styles that showcase suede or top grain leathers that display only their rich, natural colors.
The top quality sheepskin that is used in the lining of these boots is known as twin-face, which means that it has had treatment on both sides which produces ultra soft comfort for the wearer. This intensely thick sheepskin produces a soft, snug feel that keeps the wearer?s feet and legs dry without creating that over- heated sensation found in lesser quality boots.
This outdoor footwear was constructed to give wearers boots that could handle the worst of the winter elements while keeping cold and moisture at bay. Ugg boots have many styles that are also waterproof which means that the users can depend upon them in any type of weather conditions. Even the soles of these boots are given heavily lugged or ribbed patterns, which add great traction and maneuverability to the long list of positive features.
