I Should Have Worn My UGGs

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Last week I made a mistake when I went to a trade show and didn’t bring a pair of comfortable UGG boots. My feet became sore from walking but the worst part were the blisters on my little toes. I should have worn my UGGs with all that cozy fleece.

No, I wasn’t stupid enough to wear a new pair of shoes. I wore a pair of Naturalizer sport shoes. And they were broken in,  having been worn for about two years.  But lordy did my feet suffer without my UGGs.  Of course, the upside of the pain was a reason to have a Margarita.

See, last week I went to Las Vegas for the Western Shoe Association show on a buying trip.  It’s always fun and interesting to see what the shoe manufacturers are offering for Fall/Winter 2010.  We found some great new styles and will be bringing them in towards the end of the year.

So when I got back home I made sure to order a pair of UGG sneakers which are coming out in the spring.  Yes, I said sneakers.  They are cute, well cushioned and I’m hoping, very comfortable.

Not Just Your Mother’s UGGs

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Last week while visiting San Francisco with my daughter, I saw a mother and two of her daughter’s shopping in a famous department store. They were all wearing UGG boots. The mom had on a pair of chestnut classic short UGG boots, one daughter was wearing classic tall chocolate UGG boots (with jeans tucked in) and the youngest was wearing classic short gray UGG boots. I thought, “hmmm, there’s about 25 years here between the mom and the youngest, yet they’re all wearing UGGs. ” What that told me was something I’ve always known but it’s always interesting to see. And that something is that UGGs are not a fad. They aren’t going away. So all you people out there who hate UGG boots, who think they’re ugly and wish they would go away … Get over it ! Have you seen those ads for jeans labeled “Not Your Mother’s Jeans”? Well, I thought of that when I saw the mom and her daughters. Not your mother’s UGGs.

Then my daughter and I an uncontrollable urge for more of the fabulous lattes from the little hole-in-the-wall Italian coffee shop we found. So off we went. I, by the way, was wearing a pair of UGG Bettey shoes. I wore them all over the city for three days, never got blisters or even noticed my feet. That’s pretty comfortable in my book.
