I am an owner of a pair of Ugg Boots. I find them to be the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I bought my first pair of Ugg Boots when they first came out, which was about the time I was a senior in high school. I remember they were considered to be one of the “best” shoes to own on market. Today, I think they are still the “best” shoes to own, even though they have been sold for several years.

When they first came out, I saw girls only wearing them with their skinny jeans, because it was uncool to have the pant legs hanging out of the boot. Today, you see girls wearing them with all types of jeans and it doesn’t seem to matter to them if the jean is not stuffed inside the boot all the way. Beside jeans, I have also noticed that more girls are wearing their Uggs with sweatpants. This iconic boot is not only for the young as I have seen plenty of older ladies wearing them; however, I think they wear them because it adds more style to their outfit.

Wearing Uggs with a dress or skirt can make the outfit look unique when compared to other outfits. This is why I think many girls have started wearing them with other clothing options including dresses, skirts, and other outfits because boots have become a part of the fashion world. Wearing them with a winter sweater dresses helps them us girls stay warm when it is cold out because sometimes wearing that fancy pair of heels doesn’t work as well in the winter…not to mention they are much more comfortable than heels.

Even though Uggs are very comfortable, there should be a limit on the seasons people wear them in; wearing them in the fall, winter, and early spring is okay because they are warm and go well with those season outfits. I do not think it looks good though when people are wearing them with shorts when it is 65 to 70 degree’s out; it looks odd to be wearing these warm fuzzy boots with shorts.

Being a girl that loves to shop, I know that Ugg Boots are pretty expensive, but I think that the price doesn’t matter anymore. Everyone knows they are the “in” fashion boot to have. I have to admit I would love to have another pair of them! In my opinion, Ugg Boots will be “in style” for many more years to come. I think that as long as the fashion trend stays as popular as it is now, the market for Ugg Boots will be successful.
