What's Wrong with Uggs?

Guest Blogger Claire has some thoughts for us about Uggs!

There has been some recent stipulation that the Ugg boot is becoming more and more unfashionable. The once highly popular footwear choice for many girls seems to be taking a turn for worst and heading into the fashion hall of shame. For years, these sheepskin boots have been a saviour to our poor feet that constantly take a beating from high heels and pinching shoes. So why now are we falling out with the loveable Ugg boots?

Celebrities are often seen wearing their beloved Ugg boots when looking a little less than perfect. Whether they are out walking their dogs, picking their kids up or just heading out to the shops, whenever we see an a lister on one of their off days, this is usually when they are also wearing their Ugg boots. Perhaps this is why we are starting to go off the footwear brand? Watching stars wear our comfortable boot choices when they aren’t looking at their finest may have now put us off for life.

Ugg boots are our usual go to footwear when we want something comfortable to wear on our feet. After many nights out wearing high heels and long days wearing pinching shoes, the Ugg boot was once a saviour to our long suffering feet. What is wrong with throwing on a pair when you have had a long day at work or a heavy partying session the night before? 

Honestly, I think many of us will keep wearing our Ugg boots for the comfort factor alone. They may not be the most glamorous shoes in the world of footwear but among the many high heels, stilettos, wedges and sandals that are about, they are a relief to many women who want something comfortable to wear.

Five Must Have Styles

We all love shoes and want to have lots of them, but we can’t always afford to have a zillion pair.  So here are my five styles of “must have” shoes.

Classics. A great looking pair of classic pumps a staple for every wardrobe.  These are your “go to” interview and business shoes.  Preferably in a dark color such as black, with a medium heel, these shoes will work well with any dress or suit.  They are great for making a positive first impression at a meeting or presentation.  Just be sure you choose a pair that is not only great looking, but comfortable as well.  

Casual and comfy! Another must have shoe is one to wear when your feet need a rest.  These can be comfortable boots or even some brands that now make comfort shoes – but you definitely need something that will let your feet feel as good as they look.

Sneakers. You still need to exercise and go to the gym. While you will not wear sneakers with your stylish jeans, you still need sneakers for exercising and walking outside. There are lots of different sneakers on the market now - pick the ones that fit you, your personality, and that fit your exercise routine.

A pair of dressy heels.  Every woman needs a pair of dressy heels to wear for a night out on the town.  These could be a strappy pair of sandals or even a fancy pump, but they are usually a higher a heel which makes a woman taller and feel more sexy and confident.  Sparkles, glitter and rhinestones make a great dressy shoe and in a pinch, a jazzy shoe clip can be added to a classic pump to dress it up.

Color! The last pair of “must have” shoes for every woman is a pair of colorful shoes.  Think about it, what gal wasn’t in love with Dorothy’s ruby red slippers?  Yes, we all love color!  Red, pink, blue, purple, yellow, neon, or pastels, solids or patterns, as long as they make us feel good. They don’t have to match anything or even be a specific style – just be filled with color! Colorful shoes have that special spark that let us think we can click our heels and something magical will happen.  Who knows, maybe something will!

Which of these shoes do you have in your closet? Or what favorite styles of yours did I miss?
