Cozy UGG Boots

Ugg boots, the popular and often-imitated sheepskin, fleece-lined boots, are worn in all seasons. But winter is the time that even their detractors have to admit these fashion favorites work well to keep your feet warm no matter how cold the temperature becomes outside.

Later in the century, it was Australian surfers who found the boots kept their feet warm when they came out of the surf. Traveling with the surf, the boots made their way to Southern California where celebrities made them famous. And the rest is footwear history. Uggs are a staple of many wardrobes. They are worn in warmer weather, but in the winter is when you will really appreciate what you have purchased.

There is also a new shorter boot called the Gaviota. Its shaft is just 5½ inches high and it has a fringed collar around the ankle and a wrap-around leather lace so you can adjust it to fit. The sole is a cork-infused rubber for better traction. It comes in three colors: hickory smoke (tan), espresso and black suede.

For a more versatile style, consider the Baily Button boot. It has a single button-and-loop closure and the 7-inch shaft can be cuffed and turned down to 5 inches. It’s available in chocolate, sand and grey.

While you are not likely to wear out a sheepskin boot, you may find a need to replace the insole. Ugg offers authentic replacement insoles for both men’s and women’s boots. For just a few dollars, you can breathe new life in old boots. Caution: the insoles can only be used on styles with removable insoles.
