Advantages: Nice and toasty feet
Disadvantages: The price - but totally worth it
I never thought i would be lucky enough to own a pair of Uggs, I would always see girls wearing them and wish i had a pair. So when my lovely partner surprised me one day and bought me my very first pair of Ugg boots i was soo happy. I'd been banging on about them everyday, so he decided to put me out of my misery and buy me my very first pair of Ugg boots.
For many people, one of those people being my partner, these are VERY ugly looking boots, but they still manage to be all the rage and very popular with celebs.
So, what are Ugg boots?
Uggs were first worn by Australian surfers, this was because of the comfort and warmth of the boots after waiting hours in the cold sea for a wave.
They are the most comfy and cosy foot ware EVER. You can literally walk for miles and miles in them and never have aching feet. The classic Ugg boot is such a simple design, soft sheepskin suede with a very rounded toe.
Uggs come in two different sizes, classic short and classic tall. You can get your Uggs in many different colours, chestnut, grey, sand, chocolate, and black.
If you love Ugg boots, then you will be happy to know Ugg Australia do a wide range of footware, shoes and slippers and they also sell handbags and clothes.
Why i love my Uggs...
I love my Ugg boots because they are sooo comfy. I tend to wear my boots tucked into jeans, or with a casual dress. The brilliant thing about these boots is you can wear them without any socks. Even if your wearing them in minus temperature, you still have lovely toasty feet.
I recently went to New York, and when we landed it was snowing, hard. Thankfully i had my very lovely chestnut Uggs on. I didn't really want to wear them in the rain or snow, that being because of the cost of them, but it was so cold -7 i just had to. Walking out into the cold was great, my feet were snug as a bug in the boots and i could walk for miles in the snow without feeling the cold.
The snow made my boots look very wet, so i was a little worried i had ruined my £130 boots, but as soon as i got back to the hotel where it was nice and warm, they soon dried and looked as good as new. If this was my 'fake' pair of Uggs that i'd worn in the snow, they would've been ruined.
Whilst i was on holiday i decided to treat myself. In the UK my classic short chestnut Uggs cost £120, which is a large amount of money for a pair of boots. However in New York, i stumbled upon the Ugg shop. Obviously i had to go in, its a must for any Ugg lover. I spotted a pair of sand Ugg boots, and i had to have them. My boyfriend worked out they would that $130 would be £90, so buying them in America saved me nearly £30, so decided to get them.
The cost of Uggs
Yes Uggs are expensive, but if you think about this way, you could spend £20 on a pair of fakes, and they wouldn't last you very long at all. So all the £20 you pay out for a new pair, could've bought you the real thing, which last for years.
My friend has had her pair for 2 years. The look of the Uggs haven't changed, so have never gone out of fashion.
If you want a pair of comfy boots that are going to last you, then Uggs are what you need to get.
Before you buy a pair, make sure you look around for offers. So many websites are doing offers at the moment, so if you can find a good offer, you can pick up a pair of short boots for £110 - £120 or classic tall boots for £145 - £160.
If you do buy from a website, make sure you check they are real. So many websites are offering 'real' Uggs at unbelievable prices, but then they turn out to be fakes.
Another note - if you do buy a pair of Uggs, i would recommend you getting one size smaller than your normal size. Both my pair of Uggs are in size 7, which is the size i buy for all my shoes and trainers. When you first try your Uggs on they feel fine, however after a couple of hours they start to feel a big. I spoke to somebody in Schuh about this one day whilst in there shopping, and they said a lot of people had come back with the same problem but had been told they are meant to be worn big, thats the style. So, if you like your boots to fit nicely, buy a size smaller.
Summary: Amazing boots
