Real Men Wear UGGs Too!

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Should men wear UGG boots? Yes, yes and more yes! UGGs are generally viewed as a girl thing, BUT trust me on this, once men try them, they absolutely love their UGG boots and UGG slippers every bit as much as us girls do. NO – UGG boots on men are not gay. They are supremely comfortable and the ultimate casual for men who are sure of themselves. I love men in UGGs almost as much as I love men in uniforms. Especially pirate uniforms — umm, maybe that’s not a uniform and a different subject. OK. Back to UGG boots for men.

Of course, men have loved UGG slippers for years.  My father-in-law gets a new pair of UGG Ascot slippers every year.  But because he wears them in the house and outside, he should probably get a pair every six months.  And my husband must have 5 pairs of slippers alone!  For the house, the shop, the yard, work and an extra in case UGG Australia stops making his favorite pair. Here’s an actual picture of his shoe rack in our mudroom.

But in case you haven’t noticed, UGG makes some handsome UGG Boots for men other than the UGG Classic Short mens boots. The new UGG Britton mens boots have handsome motorcycle or engineer styling.  Then take a look at the UGG Wrangell mens boots with their rugged outdoor looks.  These are great to wear for traditional male jobs like shoveling snow off the sidewalk, walking the dog in the winter and dragging the garbage cans to the curb, to name but a few.

I Kept My Cool in UGGs this Summer

Monday, October 4th, 2010

My feet lived in a pair of fuscia UGGs this summer. Yeah, yeah. I know fall is upon us and summer is a distant memory. But I didn’t think of this blog until just now as I was going through some summer pictures. My UGGs of choice were the UGG Tasmina flip-flops in that gorgeous fuscia color. They took me from Seattle to Little Torch Key, down in the Key West area. And here’s a picture of the bar we cooled off in each evening. And it would have been perfect except for the nasty little invisible sand gnats which left us scratching like a hound with fleas and our ankles covered with red bites.

But now the weather has cooled off and as I write this blog, I’m wearing my newest UGG slippers.  They’re the UGG Coquette slippers in felt gray.  I’ve previously worn two pairs of  UGG Cozy II slippers to shreds so I needed to get a new pair this year.  But guess what?  My last old pair of UGG Cozy II slippers are still downstairs in the shoe rack by the back door.  I slip them on to walk my dog down the 1/2 mile dirt road from our house to the mailbox.  As long as the road is dry, it works for me. But man, those slippers are looking dirty, tired and ready for a burial. And since I love my latest UGG slippers, here’s a picture of me wearing them as I write.

But the UGGs I really want now are the UGG Cozy Knit Slippers.  With their cozy-looking cable sweater knit uppers, just looking at them makes me feel warm and cozy.  But which color do you think will go best with a camouflage Snuggie?

I Love UGGs Lexi

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

I usually rave about UGG Boots, but today I’m feeling pretty good about my new UGG Lexi slippers. I have an old pair of UGG Cozy II slippers which are on their second pair of UGG insoles. Then a few weeks ago I snagged a pair of felt gray UGG Coquette slippers to replace them. But then I saw the UGG Lexi and thought  it’s so cute with it’s sneaker sole. Had to have them. I bought them in black and wore them out of the store with my boot-cut denim jeans. After all, I was only going from the store to my car, then home. On the way home I remembered I was out of cat food. The canned kind. With three cats at home and it being dinner time, dry food isn’t enough. They are accustomed to a bit of wet also. So I went into Walmart sporting my black Lexi slippers. I kept my sunglasses on to see if anyone noticed I was wearing my slippers. NO! Not one person even glanced at my black fur collared slippers. What’s wrong with those people?

And has everyone seen the UGG – Choo boots that are out now?  Or at least they can be pre-orderd.  I was thinking I would hate all of them because I wasn’t thrilled with Nicki H’s boots.  But I actually found two pair I would wear. First is the MANDAH with two-toned studding.  Plenty of bling here. And it’s a mere $795. I’m assuming that’s for two boots, not one.

And if money truly were no matter for me and I had a few less brain cells, I would absolutely HAVE to get the blue zebra studded UGG KAIA Boots.  At $595 – they are a real steal. Really, after these, what else is there to buy for your feet?  And we all know I am full up on Louboutin and Atwood pumps.  And who the heck picked these names?  What do they really mean in Swahili?  Probably something like “stupid buyer”.

Rolling Stoner Ron Wood Looking Fly In UGGs!

Monday, December 28th, 2009

OMG – Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones was really looking fly recently in UGG boots. Ronnie was pictured leaving his home on Christmas Day in a garish outfit. The wayward Rolling Stone teamed a loud sweater with an equally flamboyant scarf and gold UGG boots as he set out to visit a friend. Unkind observers suggested he was wearing every one of the few Christmas gifts he received.

I love his outfit because I’ve been known to dress similarly.  What the heck?  Life can be so short.  Why not have fun? And haute couture is so overrated.

So ring in the New Year with a colorful outfit that’s sure to raise eyebrows and bring a smile to others.  And if you didn’t get your Gold UGG boots from Santa, come get them from us!

Tiz The Season for Fake UGGs

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Yes, it’s that time of the year again: FUGG Season. Fake UGGs. Ebay and Google are full of fake UGG boots and slippers. The unfortunate reality is that there are, for a lot of the luxury brands, counterfeit products.

Last year a woman came in to Snow River just before Christmas. She had bought a pair of UGG Boots, Classic Short in black.  She thought they “didn’t look right.”  And she was right.  They were poor imitations.  The leather was cowhide instead of sheepskin and the lining felt like fake instead of soft sheepskin fleece.  Even the box wasn’t correct.  She had been desperate for a pair of black Classic Short UGG Boots for her daughter’s Christmas present and couldn’t find them in the size needed at any dealer.  So she paid $150 for a pair off eBay. And they were fake. She lost money she couldn’t afford to lose and her daughter got a pair of subpar boots with no warranty.

If you are looking for UGG boots and UGG slippers on-line make sure that you shop at an authorized dealer like Snow River.  We’ve been in the business of selling genuine UGGs since 1985 and trust us, we know the product!

Google is now working with UGG Australia to eliminate them from their search pages, but, like cockroaches, they multiply quickly.  If you look at some of these sites you’ll see that they’re written in Chinglish and are full of errors.  Also, there will either be no physical address or no U.S. number.

If you are in the market for UGG Boots, there are a few things you can do to make sure they are real and not fake. Take a look at the website address, does the domain name include the word “UGG” or does it contain the style name in the domain address, for example, “Dakota”, if so, there is a good possibility they are counterfeit.

Something you should also know, UGG Australia does NOT authorize dealer sales on eBay, trade boards or Amazon.com. If you purchase on any of those sites you do not get the warranty nor will UGG Australia assist with trying to resolve disputes including issues with PayPal refund requests.

UGGs and Switzerland

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I thought you might like to meet Gina the Wonder Dog. She’s the store Welcome Ambassador. Gina is a Corgi/rat terrier mix we adopted from the local no-kill animal shelter about six years ago. When she hears the bells on the front door jingle she goes out front to sniff everyone’s feet (she’s built low to the ground) and cadge a bit of petting. Then, since she’s about 12 years old now, it’s back to the office to snooze some more.

Last week my local dermatologist came in with her family to stock up on UGG boots and UGG slippers. She had sold her medi-spa and has the opportunity to move to Switzerland while her husband works over there. Knowing that it gets cold in Switzerland, they all came in to buy UGG footwear. For herself she bought a pair of Ultra Tall UGG boots in chestnut and a pair of black Gaviotas.  Her husband got the men’s UGG Classic Short boots in chestnut and a pair of Scuff Romeo UGG slippers.  For her UGG boots, the older teenage daughter chose the UGG Knightsbridge tall boots with the zipper and the young teen daughter bought UGG Sunburst Tall boots and then each got a new pair of the Coquette UGG slippers.  With everyone happy with their warm UGG boots and UGG slippers, we know they’ll enjoy their family adventure in Switzerland and will have warm, comfortable footwear while doing it.

UGG Slippers-Exceptional Comfort

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

This August I had all of my family out visiting from Florida.  Sandpoint, Idaho summers provide a welcome relief from the humidity of Florida and they all had a great time swimming in the lake.  In the evening, my 82 year old mom and my two sisters all put on their cozy sheepskin UGG slippers. In fact, my mom wore her UGG Cozy II women’s UGG slippers around the house the entire time she was here.  Not because the weather was cold but because of the comfort.  She loves them so much she brought them all the way from Florida with her. If you ask her about her UGG slippers she’ll happily tell you in her charming Southern dialect, “Oh, honey, these are the most com-fert-a-bel things Awf put on ma feet in yeee-urs.”

My 82 year old father-in-law also wore his Byron men’s UGG slippers. Actually, he lives in those slippers and requires a new pair each year. They have a rubber sole and look like a driving moccasin so when he’s out and about they don’t exactly look like house slippers.  Come to think of it, because I never see him in any other shoe I’m beginning to think his UGGs are the only shoes he owns.

Which brings up the point that UGG slippers aren’t just for winter but are wearable all year long.  They are always great for birthday gifts, graduation, and “just because”.   So remember that when you need to get a gift for someone, you don’t have to wait for Christmas to give a great pair of UGG slippers.
