I have to say that ugg-boots have eluded me for many years. I have dancer calves (which are similar to those of a sherpa) so boots rarely look good wrapped around my brick-like lower legs. I also have a serious aversion to looking sloppy in public. This didn’t stop me from gleefully unwrapping my boots and pulling them onto my chilly feet the second that they arrived.

Made from merino wool they are super toasty and mega comfy. The sole is a little stiff but after a week of wear they are starting to soften. These are the boots that I was sent (despite heavily hinting for these ones - cute!) and they are very traditional tan, long ugg-boots. I do agree with Gala that ugg-boots are far more acceptable in black. I can handle tan but that’s just because I’m a purest and I’d do chocolate because I love pretty much anything in chocolate. I’m certainly not a fan of the pastel colours but I imagine that if I was ten years old there’s not much else in the world that I could want.

I bought this boots from www.uggisboot.com.au. These boots are the first thing that I put on in the morning and the last thing that I take off before I get into bed at night. I even slip them back on when I duck out for my midnight bathroom visit. These boots have made a trip to the letter box and recycle bin but have gone no further. I wouldn’t be beyond wearing them to a friend’s house but I have a hard enough time driving as it is without two merino wool pillow-boots strapped to my feet.
