Well, I have put on my most comfortable pair of shoes ever. I had to explain to my son why I could not wear these to work, besides the fact that it's still practically summer. I figured out they are just not "professional" what with the slew of teens wearing them everywhere during my last camping trip. I just wish I had them then. Yes, I have my first pair of "UGG" boots, but these are Whooga, an Australian company who offered me a pair of boots in the hopes I'd write about them. We never jumped on the croc or Ugg bandwagon, but I have occasionally coveted a pair so jumped at the chance. Rest assured these are in no way knock-offs, but a quality alternative maker of the ugg boots so popular among the models of San Diego, or so my husband observed (he still can't figure out why leggy blonds would don these "ugly" boots with their short shorts and halter tops).
One of the other reasons I agreed to try their boots is this company is a bit obsessed with disclosure. They wanted to make sure I mentioned these boots are made from authentic 100% merino wool, designed in Australia, but manufactured in China. It was a bit odd getting a beautifully wrapped package of soft fur Australian boots from China, and I at first worried a hotel had returned the leftover notebooks I purposely left on my last business trip there. Having worked for a global company for a while, and often being in charge of giveaways, I am well aware of how many items are made in China, and pretty much all of these types of boots are, including the popular UGG Austraila boots.I chose these short purple ones, as they recommend if your concerned about your calf widths (yes, I inherited by dad's calves) to opt for the shorter ones, but they have three versions, and you can roll them down for a cute look. I have wide feet and was a little worried about the fit, since they don't come in different widths, but I promise they fit absolutely perfect. They have sizing instructions on their website and it worked. The website is really chock full of information, including how to choose your color. Black is the "safest" but since I have three pairs of black booths, and was not planning to dress up my business attire I wanted something more fun. I really love the color.
I would not say these are cheap, but they are less expensive than others out there and feel simply amazing.
