My Ugg Boots And Me
Last year I did it. I finally ordered myself a brand new pair of Ugg Boots. I’m not your typical female who loves to doll up, wear heels, and dresses up all the time, I’m the one who is usually walking around in a pair of tight blue jeans. However, visiting my friend in college over the Easter weekend opened up my eyes to a cool new line of boots.
What makes these Ugg brand boots different is how much they weigh. It’s like wearing a pair of really comfortable sandals. The outer skin is actually sheepskin and it’s a kind of suede feeling, yet it has better thermal properties than suede does, so it keeps your feet warmer than traditional leather. The bottom soles are this unique flexible rubber that is also very light in weight.
Since me and my friend wear the same size shoe, she let me wear them out one night, right 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 next day, I put them on again and told her I would pay her for these, and she could go out and get herself a new pair.
If you can picture this, me and my friend, both pulling on each end of one of the boots until she falls back after I let go. This prompted a friendly punch to my arm. After we stopped laughing over how stupid we must have looked, I got online and bought the same pair that she had. 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. We still we our boots too. I guess it was Linda who turned me on to Ugg Boots and now I’m afraid that there is no turning me off. And if they keep making and selling them, I’ll continue to buy. I’m so thankful for the Internet, there’s no stores anywhere near my town where I can buy them, I can get really cheap ugg boots too. To the computer I go, to put my credit card to more good uses.
