What’s so Special about Merino Wool?

Why does everyone make such a big deal of the fact that Ugg boots are made from Merino wool?  Because Merino is some of the finest wool produced anywhere in the world.  It is the softest, most luxurious wool available.

Merino is the  breed of sheep from which Merino wool comes from.  Makes sense, right?  Merino wool is exceedingly fine, and this time I mean in thickness, not quality.  In fact, it is so fine that it takes three to four wool fibers to equal the dimension of one human hair.  Now that’s fine.  Not to worry, though.  Merino sheep produce plenty of wool to go around.  In just one year, one Merino sheep can produce enough wool to reach 5,500 miles.  Impressive, isn’t it?  And they’re so cute, too!

That’s not all that’s special about Merino wool, however.  Merino wool is one of the best insulators ever created by man or nature.   It’s designed to keep the body at its optimal temperature, so in the case of Ugg boots, that means your feet are never too cold and never too hot when you’re wearing them.  Your feet stay nice and dry, too, because wool has the power to wick moisture away from your skin and hold it back.  Even if you tend to have sweaty feet, your tootsies will stay dry and comfy when you’re wearing  your Ugg boots or slippers.

If you’ve thought about buying some of those Ugg lookalikes from cheaper sources, remember that you’ll be missing out on one of the best parts if your boots are not made from Merino wool.  One of the nicest things about Uggs is their ability to keep your feet snuggled in comfort, wrapping them in luxurious softness while keeping them dry and toasty.  And that’s the truth.  Would I pull the wool over your eyes?  No, I wouldn’t, but some of those manufacturers who sell inferior Ugg knockoffs would, so make sure your getting the genuine article when you buy your Uggs.

Celebrities Continue to Love Their Uggs

Here’s more proof that celebrities are still crazy about their Uggs.  Tori Spelling was spotted wearing them on July 5th,2009,  when she spent the day at the beach in Malibu with her family.  Tori’s feet were  comfy and dry as she strolled with  her two children, Liam, 2, and Stella, 1, through the sand.    That’s so much better than having your sandals fill up with wet, gritty sand, don’t you think?

Rachel Johnson, comfortable in her Ugg boots before her fire.

Need more evidence?  Reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson included a pair of Ugg boots in the beautiful gift baskets she had made for each of her bridesmaids.  On June 27, 2009 she married NFL player Hank Baskett and presented each of her seven bridesmaids with custom made gift baskets.  Not only did those lovely baskets contain a pair of Ugg boots, but a number of other very classy items.  The bridesmaids were probably happy to get home after hours on their feet at the wedding  and slip into something more comfortable, like their new Ugg boots!

Rachel Johnson is not only the sister of the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and a well-known author in her own right,  she is also the newest editor of Britain’s oldest weekly women’s magazine, The Lady.  She beat out 21 other top contenders for the job.  Not only is this lady smart, but she knows how to stay comfortable.  She’s pictured wearing Ugg boots as she lounges in front of a cozy fire.

Of course, we all know you don’t have to be a celebrity to love Ugg boots.  Everyone can enjoy the comfort and style of  Uggs.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman, young or old.  There’s a perfect pair of Ugg boots available for anyone.  So what if you’re not a celebrity.  You can still dress like one!

Ugg Boots and Kids

Kids are crazy about their Uggs.  Why do you think that is?  Do you think it’s becasue they appreciate that Uggs are made from the finest of Merino sheepskin and will keep their feet cozy and warm?  Do you think they understand that it’s very important to keep heat from escaping the body in cold weather?  Or maybe it’s because kids know their feet will get good support from the excellent construction of Ugg boots?  Naaaah, it’s because they like them!

Kids love to wear things that make them feel like grown ups.  Because so many celebrities are seen out and about in their Uggs and end up on TV and in magazines while sporting this jazzy footwear, kids just think it’s cool to own their own Ugg boots.  And who can blame them?

Of course, as responsible parents, this is one thing kids want that we can give to them with no guilt what so ever.  In fact, we should be comforted to know we don’t have to worry about whether or not our kids’  feet are warm enough.  If it’s not pouring rain or a snowstorm, you know your kids’ feet will be just the right tempreature when they’re wearing Ugg boots.  The sturdy sole helps kids keep their footing, too, and makes them a great choice for outdoor play, but are soft and comfy enough for indoor wear.  They provide great support and are durable enough to handle the tough use kids give them

Kids’ Ugg boots are made just like the adult version.   Uggs never skimp on quality just because these boots are for smaller feet.

There’s several styles of  Uggs for boys and girls available.  Choose classic good looks and keep your children warm and stylish with one smart move.  They’ll love showing them off at school and you’ll feel good knowing their feet are warm and protected.

Sex and the City Stars Love Ugg Boots

Looks like a couple of the Sex and the City (SATC) gals are longing for comfort after a tiring day of filming on the set. The four stars have confessed to being out of stiletto shape after a long break from filming SATC1.

Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) enjoys the famous trend as well as Kim Cattrell who wore her UGGs with a wedding dress for a scene in the upcoming SATC2.

That got fans wondering if Samantha will be tying the knot in the second installment of the much anticipated Sex and the City movie.

UGG boots from Australia are known for being as comfortable and expensive as they are ugly. Over the last few fall and winter seasons in New York City they seem to be on every other woman’s feet.

It’s not surprising the SATC fashionista’s would pick up on the trend until they are ready to slip back into their Manolos .

Unlike SJP’s disastrous fashion forray into the camel toe variety boot, UGG boots are something that the SATC fan can get behind. Soft, warm and unlikely to make a person squeamish when they  look at them. Unless you are a man. Especially Manhattan men, who are repulsed by the ugly boot also known as “the muppet foot” boot.

SJP enjoys her UGG boots on the set of SATC2.

With a feminine top, pretty headband and torn blue jeans, SJP shows us how to wear our UGG boots with flair.

Outdoor Ugg Boots Perfect for the Winter

Ugg Boots, Woolly boots, Australian Sheepskin boots, Cardy Boots, or whatever your preferred name for Ugg Boots, there’s no denying that Uggs are the latest craze in teen and adult fashion. You’ll probably end up wearing them more than your favorite pair of jeans, your hoodie and especially your Nike Airs!

So if you’re been living the life of a hermit and haven’t yet come across the Ugg phenomenon, here’s a run down on what this new form of footwear is all about.

In Australia, Australian’s have been wearing sheepskin uggs boots since the Brit’s threw them off the tall ships to build their new colony.

Aussie’s love the outdoors, and despite the heat of the Australian desert, there are plenty of times of the year, and places in Australia where the warmth of natural sheepskin is a definate plus in the land downunder. Popular with the surfing crowd, the sight of a pair of uggs appearing from the side of a VW combi has been gracing the shores of Bell’s Beach since the 60′s. It was only a short journey across the pacific from Aussie beachwear to hollywood sheik-wear with female celebrity’s getting their womens uggs on such as Pamela Anderson, and magazine’s like Marie Clare, Teen Vogue and Cosmo featuring celebrity stars and starlets sporting the latest in sheepskin ugg boot fashion. In recent times mens ugg boots have come into the fray and are pretty common to be seen in the homes and on the streets of Los Angeles, New York and London.

Ask your average Australian and they’ll tell you about the pair of uggs they wore in their teenage years, but ask the average US or UK teenager, and they’ll *show* you the pair of uggs they are wearing this week. Typically for women it will be a pair of womens tall uggs in ever popular classic style – you just can’t beat classic looks.

Love em, hate em or just curious – you wont find a more comfortable, and warm form of attire for your tootsies and who knows – you might just look cool getting your ugg on!
