Hug from an Ugg!

After years and years of wearing the cheaper versions of discount UGG boots I decided that as I wear them all the time I would treat myself to a real pair.
My Ugg boots are either on my feet or have just come off so I thought that it was time a wrote a review on them.
A little Ugg history -
The fashionable UGG brand boots was an idea conceived by a young australian surfer in 1978 who took lots of sheepskin boots to america and the phenomenon that is the Ugg boot was born but it took until around 1998 for it to become the fashion must have that it is today and even then the collection only including two styles of boots and four styles of slippers.
Cheap UGG boots are also available in many colours now and different finishes,
There is also a great kids and men's collection along with plenty of care products.
They became incredible popular with the celebrity world and at one time or another most celebs and fashionistas were pictured wearing a pair.
So many fakes and copies are made of these boots that almost everyone seems to have a pair and for years I have also worn them paying only approx £15.00 for a cheap pair and as I wore them all the time I did go through many many pairs.
Is it really worth paying the money for a real pair? -
Without a doubt the answer from me is an unequivocal YES!.
As i said earierler for years I wore the cheaper version and replaced them lots and lots of times, the main reasons were either the heel was badly worn away, the fronts got holes in them or the insides became hard and itchy and must as I hate to admit it they became smelly!.
I purchased the real UGGs on holiday in america and paid $140 dollars and as the exchange rate was great at the time they were basically half the price had I bought them in the UK.
I came out of the stores clutching my lovely beige box with the writing Ugg on the front and felt so happy, now please don't think that i am too shallow but I had wanted a real pair for ten years and suffered many bouts of Ugg envy when I saw someone wearing the real thing.
I put them on back at the villa we were staying and they have pretty much been on my feet every since!, the first thing that I noticed was the thickness of the boot itself and the quality of the sheepskin as it was so soft and it was like my feet were being given a lovely cuddle, lowest price UGG boots also felt so much sturdier and comfortable than they cheaper version and I then understood the difference.
They are also good for your feet as there is plenty of room and you are not squashing your feet in anyway or putting pressure on them.
While I was lucky and able to purchase them in America I will pay the full price when I need to replace them.
Fake versus Real -
I have now had my real ones for over a year and they still look brand new, there is no visible wear on the heel and the insides are still as soft as they were the day I bought them and no smells and I wear these most days as they are so practical and comfy and easy to put on in a hurry.
Women UGG boots are made with the best A grade sheepskin available which is soft and dense and makes for a more durable and wearable material, it also allows your feet to breathe as the sheepskin breathes naturally and wicks moisture away and this is true as my boots have never has the sweaty moist feel and therefore no smells!.
They also say that because of the sheepskin that they use it keeps your feet to the same temperature as your body whatever the weather.
Where to get them and the cost -
You can purchase them in certain department stores and on Uggs own website www.uggaustrilia.com or better still be really nice to anyone you know that is visiting America!.
The tall version is available on the website for £190 and the smaller one for £150.
Summary: I love my Uggs and my Uggs love me!
