Uggly Boots???

I have to admit that when I first saw UGG Boots I was not the biggest fan. A friend of mine had a pair before they became popular and I remember thinking she looked really silly in them and that I would never buy a pair. Fast forward a few years and inevitably I now own three wonderful pairs.

My three pairs that are own are two of the classic short and one pair of the classic tall Ugg Boots. I have gone back to them time and time again because they have lasted really well, are comfortable and fun to wear and I am now looking at buying a pair of the Cardi ones, the ones that look like a cardigan and look lovely and snuggly and warm!

Ugg Boots are the footwear phenomenon from Australia, the sheepskin boot popular with Hollywood stars and Australia surfers alike. They have kind of stood the test of time in fashion stakes as they are still in fashion and still going strong. In fact, when it was first produced, over 165 years ago, they were made with surfers in mind, for comfort and warmth after spending hours waiting in the cold sea for a wave.

Yes, the boots are expensive but like I've said above do last for a very long time and combined with the comfort and style in my opinion are well worth the money. A classic tall pair are likely to set you back about £170. Now, I know this is quite expensive and I know there are some people who will say that they can buy the very same boot in a cheap store without the little label on the back and pay about £10 but in my experience these always tend to end up looking really old and worn after a few wears. The bottom part where you foot goes tends to fold over and collapse and that is not a good look as well as probably not being very good support for your feet.

In terms of warmth and comfort you cannot go wrong with these. Like I said they are made with sheepskin which is incredibly soft. The boots are made with a soft sheepskin suede on the outside and shearling lining in the interior. The lining on the inside allows you to wear these boots without socks which is nice because this lining will keep your feet nice and warm without socks. I do sometimes wear socks though if it is extremely cold outside, however the lining is said to keep you warm when it is cold outside and regulate your temperature when it is a bit warmer out.

The front part of the boots where your toes are is very wide so these boots really do work for people of all shoe sizes, especially for people with wide feet who have problems fitting into regular boots.

The back of the boots feature a stitched on label that says Ugg's to show you that you have the original footwear. I really like the classic tall as they are great to wear in winter for a bit of extra warmth or over a pair of skinny jeans as they fit well over these and elongate your legs. The classic tall come up to probably the middle to top part of your calf and end below the knee. What I like about them too is that you can turn the top of the boot over so you get to view the shearling lining and give the boot a different look than the classic short boots.

The heel and bottom of an Ugg boot is made of a lightweight, synthetic sole which is very hard wearing and does not wear down easily. A visit to their website is well worth it to view all the ranges available and all the other products they offer such as children's products, gloves, slippers, handbags and many many more. Their website can be found at http://www.uggaustralia.com/index.aspx. All in all they have about over 40 different styles of boots so you can really find something for every occasion and ones that you personally really like.

The Classic Tall Boots come in a variety of colours which is great because you can really mix and match your outfits depending on your Ugg Boot colour. The colours are as follows:

Black
Chestnut
Chocolate
Grey
Mulberry
Navy
Sand
