Ugg boots: love them or hate them they are an amazing success.
The woes of wearing them were discussed on GMTV yesterday as they have been making headline news as being bad for your feet.
That is not entirely fair.
They are a remarkably comfortable shoe and the quite expensive price tag has made them ultra fashionable. Kate Moss and Sienna seen wearing made them uber-trendy.
They are also a great antidote to the extreme high heels we are seeing at the moment which are clearly damaging to feet if worn for too long. It is little wonder that Uggs are a slipper for the feet.
And that is the downside, too flat and too unsupportive they can quickly become "down at heel." Sagging and Bagging and causing a shuffling style of walkng is not great. If your Ugg boots do bag & sag alarmingly then get a new pair (if beyond redemption) and put in an insole (try the interpods from Supplefeet). As they are so roomy it is usually no problem to get an insole in.
And there is more than one style of Ugg, so choose the pair for you.
As for causing athletes foot; hardly a fair accusation as they are made of super absorbent materials that wick away moisture so you are less likely to get a fungal infection wearing Uggs. However if do you have athletes foot, a hot, warm environment will not clear it up. You need to treat the infection with an anti-fungal cream or spray.
So wear and enjoy. All shoes in moderation!
Until the next time
