Not too long ago I broke down, opened up my purse and paid decent money 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 being barefoot but with comfort and protection. The boots are actually made from sheepskin, which is similar to suede, but keep you warmer than actual suede. The soles are made of a very lightweight synthetic rubber compound that seems to be perfectly molded to your feet.

Since me and my friend wear the same size shoe, she let me wear them out one night, right over my jeans. A nice flower top with puffy sleeves and I have to tell you I looked good. At the end of the night, I couldn’t believe 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.

Now picture this, Linda and I pulling at opposite ends of the boot. Just after I let go and watched her fall back, she took a friendly swipe at me with the boot. After we made ourselves cry laughing over how stupid this was, I got on her laptop and ordered the same exact pair as hers. Now we obviously don’t have to fight anymore. And with so many outfit combinations that these boots work with, we don’t have to worry about being out with the same boots on, no one even notices because the rest of our outfits are so different.

That was over a year ago, and we still talk about that little competition we had that day over a pair of boots. And we both still wear our boots all the time. It was Linda that first showed me these boots, and now I’m a loyal fan and customer. For right now, as long as they are still made, I’ll keep buying. 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. I hear my laptop calling, and my credit card too.
