As summer comes to an end and fall and winter begins, the fashion changes along with the weather. Placing the sandals back in the closet and finding something to warm the cold sensation in your feet, the winter boots are dragged from the dark.
Teen girls are reaching the age when they want to look trendy, but the practicalities of choosing winter boots goes beyond fashion into the realms of deciding what is suitable to keep their feet warm and look their best at the same time. There are various criteria to make the purchase of winter boots successful and to keep your mind off of the cold weather: safety and non- slip, waterproof, comfort, and style.
Searching for the perfect boots; one enters the world of UGG. Bryon Bay, Australia is the beach where Australian surfers began wearing sheepskin footwear for warmth between seasons, and set sail for Southern California in 1978 in the hands of Brian Smith. The Australian surfer introduced the brand to the United States with two dozen boots. Smith sold 28 pairs of boots, and his success continued. With his bag of sheepskin, the UGG brand became a symbol by the 1980’s. The “magical” twin face sheepskin is the finest available, I must say, with my own pair. It delivers a luxurious comfort that is truly one of a kind. The feeling captures my words: this item cannot be equaled by any other brand. When you purchase a pair it’s obvious the creators wanted something more, giving people different perspectives on their product. They wanted people not to just like UGG boots, but fall in love with them. I literally am not able to take them off my feet.
As time moves on, the spotlight still shines. The fleece-lined footwear has been around more than 25 years. The different collection of UGG increasingly has been seen on famous and fashion- forward feet, from Kate Hudson to Oprah Winfry. The UGG brand intends on symbolizing those who embrace sports and a relaxing attire life style. “I LOOVE my UGG boots,” Oprah mentions in Oprah’s Favorite Things. This distinct style suits both a causal weekend as well as the runways. Slip them on for some fun with friends on the weekend and get prepared for paparazzi as you walk the school hallways.
