Snow River UGGs And More Blog

Beautiful, isolated Sandpoint, Idaho isn’t known as a hotspot for glamour focused celebrities. Though we are probably the most beautiful city in America, we don’t have enough expensive stores to keep celebs occupied. However, we do attract a few of the more unusual celebrities, I would say it’s the cerebral type. Such as Ben Stein. He has a home here and we’ve known about it for years but have never seen him. Finally it happened. Twice in one month. The first time was when my husband had walked to the post office to mail some UGG slippers and UGG boots from our internet orders. Ben held the door open for him and commented on his cool hat. The next time Ben Stein appeared was actually in our store. A friend who was visiting bought him a pair of Cloud Nine sheepskin slippers and he came in to get the correct size. We were excited because we had been avid watchers of his show, “Win Ben Stein’s Money.” And we have always loved his extra dry humor and delivery.

Speaking of sheepskin slippers, we offer Cloud Nine because they are well made, comfortable and offer styles and features that the UGG slippers don’t. For example, all of the Cloud Nine slippers have soft rubber soles that give you some cushioning while many of the UGG slippers have hard rubber or thin scuff soles with no cushioning. If you have hardwood or tile floors the cushioning of the Cloud Nine slippers is great. Cloud Nine keeps the price down by using cowhide suede outers and a grade of sheepskin that is near but not the same quality as UGG slippers. Ben liked the Cloud Nine Northwest Slip-In Men’s Slippers. We also carry a Cloud Nine Moccasin style, a Booty style and a more classic Romeo slipper. These are just the men’s slippers.

We also have a good selection of sheepskin slippers for women from Cloud Nine. The Sierra Women’s Driving Moccasin is a good alternative to the always popular UGG Dakota slipper.

Treat yourself like a celebrity and put your feet in some soft, cozy and warm slippers from Snow River.
