It wasn’t that long ago that I finally took out my credit card and paid a good price for a pair of Ugg Boots. Now I’m not the real girly type who wears lipstick and short dresses all the time, usually you’ll find me in a pair of blue jeans. However, visiting my friend in college over the Easter weekend opened up my eyes to a cool new line of boots.

I love how light these ugg boots are. It’s like wearing a pair of really comfortable sandals. These boots are warmer than their suede counterparts because the sheepskin keeps the cold out better. 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. I just couldn’t get over how comfortable these boots were. The following morning, I put them back on, wrote her a check and told her to go get herself 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. Now we obviously don’t have to fight anymore. 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. Both of us are still wearing our boots too. Linda introduced me to these boots and I think I’ll be wearing them for a very long time. And if they keep making and selling them, I’ll continue to buy. I’m so thankful for the Internet, there’s no stores anywhere near my town where I can buy them, I can get really cheap ugg boots too. So online I go, and put in that well used credit card number.
