This particular design of fuzzy footwear was practically designed for making an unpleasant, chilly and completely utilitarian task, such as dog walking, into a more bearable excursion. You know, vacuuming the floor, doing laundry, cleaning out the fridge, shoving things into the hall closet and praying the door will stay shut. Are there other occasions when this footwear gets the green light? The answer is a resounding nope. But are they still shoes that serve a function and a purpose?
Of course. And if they make your life easier when running errands, cozier after a day in too-tight ski boots or more bearable while suffering through the flu, then by all means, wear your Uggs as you please. Also hailing from Australia, these crazy-lightweight guys look like fancy Chelsea boots but are a thousand times more comfortable than the kind that pinch your toes and come with a designer price tag.
Fret not, because there are so many options to choose from. The beloved Dr. Martens offers a ton of fuzz-filled styles, like the classic lace-up or the easy slip-on Chelsea boots. Aquatalia is well known among shoe lovers for making fashion-y leather and suede kicks thatare totally waterproof. Look at that coffee-colored leather juxtaposed against that snow-white shearling. Truly the stuff of winter wonderland dreams. For a status-symbol shearling number which, as you might remember, Uggs once were , we cannot recommend a No.
They come in a veritable rainbow of winter- ready colors , in addition to a variety of heel and shaft heights , so you can choose the one that suits your lifestyle best.
While you might not want to slip and slide through the snow in these puppies, you can gloat about the fact that your feet are enveloped in an evolved version of the early Ugg. Go on, stomp through winter in these. This Will Be the Amazon Coat of Does Hand Sanitizer Work?

The sleek leg balances out the bulky footwear. A post shared by In A Millions Mood inamillionsmood. You do have options if you want to skip the hefty price tag. For one, you can look at the Koolaburra by Ugg line which has a lower price point. You could also invest in an Ugg copycat — that was my strategy. Or, you can find discounted Uggs at the Ugg outlets and select retailers.
While some questioned how the shoes that so many of us once loved but ultimately discarded to the bargain bin revived themselves, others saw the trendy possibilities immediately. One of those people ahead of the curve? But, celebrity-endorsed trendiness aside, how exactly Uggs are still here can only be explained by looking at the fascinating cultural history of the original boots.
Ugg boots became super popular in Australia in the '60s, but it had nothing to do with the aesthetic of the shoes themselves. Aussie beach fanatics praised them for function rather than fashion.
Noticing the rising popularity of the style, two men saw a business opportunity. They were appointed the title and set off for America with a bag of the sheepskin shoes. Smith and Jensen chose California as their first stop in , realizing that the state had the same relaxed lifestyle as their homeland and hoping for an equal amount of enthusiasm for uggs.
With all eyes on the feet of professional surfers, who were only too eager to don the boots, Uggs began to be sold in surf shops across beach cities including San Diego and Santa Cruz.
The real momentum came, though, when Uggs began to leave the beach and enter the wardrobes of non-wave riders. The cozy style was also stocked in ski stores, catering for the winter vacationers.
That same year also saw a picture published of Baywatch star Pamela Anderson wearing a pair of the tall style with her famous red swimsuit.
A year later, Ugg was acquired by California-based Deckers Outdoor Corporation as a sister and more winter-appropriate brand to the similarly divisive Teva sandals.
