Advantages: So comfortable! So fashionable!

Disadvantages: waterproofing needed, slippery soles, expensive

Fashion or comfort? Usually these two features can never be found together in any item of clothing, be it a jumper or a pair of shoes. However 18 months ago i got my first pair of Uggs and have finally found the first exception to this rule. At first glance they may seem slipper like and bulky, more suited for snow than the high street. However take a look down your local high street and the amount of converted ugg-lovers wearing them simply demonstrates their absolute cult popularity.
Personally, I have found my uggs warm and cosy, far more suitable for winter than pumps and extremely comfortable. They look good with jeans or skirts, and go with most colours; definitely a must have staple to anyones wardrobe. Being bulky around the lower leg also gives the effect of a thinner upper leg, a clear advantage for the body-conscious woman.
There are only a few minor disadvantages that I have incurred, firstly, they are not great in the rain, but this can be counteracted by regularly treating with waterproofing for suede. Secondly, after 18months of near constant use, my ugg got a ripped seam on its side, but in all fairness I am surprised at how long they have lasted in the first place. They can also be slippy on wet surfaces. The problem of the price can also not be ignored, I recommend buying them directly from australia, not a UK shop, as these can be up to 50% off the UK price! Despite these, thay are a great must-have, of the moment item, be it for the sake of fashion or comfort and they certainly look better than cheaper highstreet look-a-likes, you're feet will not fall off the side of these!

Summary: A great boot, once tried forever converted.
