My 17 year old son is a competitive swimmer that practices twice a day most weeks. We leave the house at 4:30 AM. He heard teenage girls, including his sister, always talking about how warm and comfortable their UGG boots were, and was very jealous. He then spotted them in an ad for guys. He did some online research and discovered that UGG boots were originally used by surfers, first in Australia and then in California. I purchased them for his birthday. He now wears them to morning practice every day. They keep his feet warm on the way to practice and he can slip them right on when he gets out of the pool. Other guys on his swim team have told him that UGG boots are at the top of their Christmas list now.
For years I was tortured by the incessant lament of 'my feet are so cold' from my husband...until I bought him his first pair of Uggs. He had to be coaxed into them (forced is more like it), but once one foot was in, the look on his face described the comfort: 'Like walking on a cumulus cloud.' And I have since never heard one moan over the temperature of his feet! Thank you, Uggs!
