as I am one of the seemingly small minorities of women who have never owned a pair of Ugg


Today they are nearly as common as pigeons; walking through the city center of Leeds on this bitter cold winter's day I must have counted at least 30 pairs of Ugg Boots donning the feet of women (and 1 man) of all ages, in many different styles and shades. cheap uggs In the colder months the infamous sheep's wool lined boot it seems could possibly be one of the best inventions ever, if their popularity is anything to go by.

Now I am actually throwing this statement out as a question, as I am one of the seemingly small minorities of women who have never owned a pair of Ugg. That's right, and until today I had never even tried a pair on. But being involved in the sale of shoes online and seeing firsthand how many pairs fly off the shelves each month (and with England experiencing her coldest blip since 1981 apparently) I have recently come to ask myself exactly why I haven't yet jumped on the Ugg wagon, and what have I been missing out on?

The Ugg style of boot originated in either Australia or New Zealand (there is debate over exactly which country) and has been pictured on the feet of pilots as early as during World War I. Since then they have also been worn by sheep shearers in Australia, and to keep the feet of surfers and swimmers warm when out of the water, in various countries.ugg classic tall The isolative properties of sheepskin are what allow the boots to keep your feet toasty warm against the elements; the fleecy fibers of their linings keep your feet at body temperature by allowing air to circulate the feet. So there is obviously a clever science to this footwear, and I am thinking there may be a more attractive alternative to the 3 pairs of socks I am wearing under my willies this week....
