UGGs, how do I love thee….let me count the ways.  When I first saw you, I thought “How UGG-ly” and resisted the call of your sheepskin-lined warmth. 

Then one day, Winter fell upon the world and the coldness descended.  I for one, could not find a way to keep my delicate little feet from feeling the frigid bite…until you came into my life.

Forgive me for I did not realize what I was missing….

Yes, you are hearing from a former UGG hater, now an UGG  convert.  After years of looking for warm footwear to wear during the Winter, I finally broke down and bought a pair of UGG slippers (Coquette).

The moment I slipped my foot into them, it was love.  I quickly followed by purchasing a pair of boots, which are equally as heavenly.  The fleece never flattens and after a hard day of work I look forward to coming home and putting on my UGGs.  Fuzzy goodness in my opinion.  Perfect for lounging around at home or running out to the supermarket with.  They are so comfortable that sometimes I don’t want to even take them off (have thought about climbing into bed with them on but that would be wrong!). 

In my experience, UGG footwear tends to be true to size.   I am a size 7 and wear a size 7 in UGGs.  Being a shorty (5′1ish) I tend to prefer the classic  Short boots which come to mid-calf on me.

So if you are looking for a warm place to put your feet this winter, try a pair of UGGs.  Yeah, they are still UGG-ly but worth the $100+ price (some models are up to $200).  I say look for deals.  Shop around on the internet for sales.  I recently bought a grey pair from The Walking Company (thewalkingcompany.com) and used ebates.com for a 10% cashback.  I was later appalled to find out that Lori’s Shoes (lorisshoes.com) was having a 25% off sale which included UGG.  Zappos carries the brand or you can buy directly via uggaustralia.com.

Happy UGG shopping!
