Not too long ago I broke down, opened up my purse and paid decent money for a pair of Ugg Boots. I’m not your typical female who loves to doll up, wear heels, and dresses up all the time, I’m the one who is usually walking around in a pair of tight blue jeans. However, visiting my friend in college over the Easter weekend opened up my eyes to a cool new line of boots.

What makes these Ugg brand boots different is how much they weigh. They weigh practically nothing. The outer skin is actually sheepskin and it’s a kind of suede feeling, yet it has better thermal properties than suede does, so it keeps your feet warmer than traditional leather. The soles are made of a very lightweight synthetic rubber compound that seems to be perfectly molded to your feet.

Since my girlfriend and I wear the same size shoe, I wore these boots out one night right over my blue jeans. A nice flower top with puffy sleeves and I have to tell you I looked good. What impressed me the most was the comfort of these boots. The next morning I grabbed them, put them back on and told her I would give her money for these, and she could go buy another pair.

If you can picture this, me and my friend, both pulling on each end of one of the boots until she falls back after I let go. This prompted a friendly punch to my arm. After we stopped laughing over how stupid we must have looked, I got online and bought the same pair that she had. This should end our fighting. It’s great too that we can wear the same boots out together, and since they go with anything, no one will notice because the rest of our clothes will be so different.

Time has passed since I went and visited my dear friend Linda, we still laugh over the Ugg Boot tug of war. We still we our boots too. Linda introduced me to these boots and I think I’ll be wearing them for a very long time. For right now, as long as they are still made, I’ll keep buying. The Internet has really saved us, there isn’t anywhere in town where I can get them, but online there’s hundreds of stores that sell them, I can get Uggs for cheap. I hear my laptop calling, and my credit card too.
