Show Your Sheepskin Boots

By Donna Ayers


The ''snuggliest'' boot known to boot wearers if Uggs. Inside there is sheepskin that is cozy and soft. It forms to the foot, keeps it toasty in the winter, cool in the summer and takes away any trace of moisture. They are popular because they are comfortable and fashionable.

These Uggs boots will become your favorites especially when you consider how they can be on the fashion pages and be in the mainstream. And why is that? Because they are comfortable and stylish. Uggs developed from the popular choices of practical consumers, not from hype.

If you are looking for a discounted pair of Uggs boots or a special deal on Ebay, you may find something that will fit your budget. But, you will not find discounted merchandise at retail and cyber shoe stores.

In the 1960's, Uggs became popular in Australia with the swimming and surfing crowd. California was the next stop for the fashion sensation. They are still the hottest footwear around.

Cozy Uggs slippers are made with sheepskin and are available in short and tall styles and in tan or brown color ranges. They have flat heels that makes it comfortable to be worn as a slipper around the house or on the street. They are wearable in winter as well as summer. A great feature of the interior is that they are odor free.

Uggs were so comfy and practical they they became super popular and soon word was on the street about the new footwear. Sheepskin feels really good on your feet as opposed to cowhide. And this construction breathes and allows air to circulate which reduces the tendency to create odors.

The sheepskin fleece allows for air circulation that in the summer doesn't heat up your feet and in winter provides insulation against the cold. It's a comfortable boot for all seasons. That applies to their slippers as well. The Ugg tanned outer surface with wool inner lining are designed to wear without socks. Ugg Australia is the comfort shoe of choice.

If you ever wondered where the word Ugg derived from, the common interpretation was "ugly boot." The sheep shears in Australia who first crafted the boot thought they looked ugly. The name stuck. Not that men's Ugg boots are ugly today, the early frontier version was the ugly kind, but functional and warm.

Today there is a wider number of designs to choose from for men and women's Ugg boots. There is the classic Ugg boot and newer designs in a variety of colors and materials. Women's crochet designs got the nod from Oprah Winfrey "Favorite Things" segment with their knitted upper part and come with a sheepskin sock liner. Uggs are available in various lengths and colors. Other Ugg boot designs have incorporated design features that sport a slimmed down upper part along with some styles including a laced look.
