Amazon.com: : Shoes

I bought these shoes in a light pink in the summer and I haven't taken them off since. They are versitile, comfortable, warm and ideal for walking long distances and shopping.

Just before buying them I'd been wearing strappy sandles and heals for 10-14 hours/day. After showing up for a peddicure with scabs and scars all over my poor feet, my nail lady told me to try some Uggs. So I did. My feet have healed, they are well insulated and stay moisturized because of the thick lining.

The uggs are so comfortable, infact, that they have inspired me to walk to work--1.5miles each way. How many shoes can you say that about? There is no break-in period, and they feel like you are wearing nice slippers in public.

I don't worry about walking on ice in them because there isn't a heel to twist an ankle on, and there is plenty of traction. Better than docs for the bad weather, actually, because the soles don't freeze and they keep your feet PLENTY warm.

There are only three drawbacks: the suede--I didn't treat it quick enough and now the water marks show from walking in the snow; and the casualness of them. As soon as I find uggs in something that works with a suit I'm set for life! In the meantime, I wear them to walk to work, change shoes in my office, and then switch back into them if I know I'm not going to meetings for a while. The third is the height, while I like the shorter boot for under jeans, it isn't something that would look OK with anything else, and certainly looks goofy by itself.

These shoes are in my main closet with the rest of the shoes I will never part with--my docs and birks. They belong in that elite shoe category of classic, comfortable and well made. I can't wait to get another pair.

3.0 out of 5 stars great boots but made in china, December 4, 2007

Uggs are the best boots for fall and winter. They have a great history of being perfect for ski resorts or other snowy settings. They have a good reputation based on their years being made in New Zealand. But they aren't made there anymore, they're made in china, and the difference is dramatic. While the Chinese Uggs are nice boots, they are nowhere as well made and the leather and fleece is much cheaper that it was during Uggs' better days.

1.0 out of 5 stars made in china , December 5, 2008

Hi everyone I ordered direct from the UGG Australia website after reading reviews on Amazon that they could possibly be made in China if ordered elsewhere. When I received my boots they were MADE IN CHINA!! I wrote to UGG Australia to complain about the boots being made in china here is there reply: Thank you for your below inquiry on the country of manufacture of UGG brand boots. As you note, most UGG Classics are now made in China. Our Australian sources simply could not handle the volume of boots we now manufacture. The vast majority of sheepskin used to manufacture Classics in China, however, continues to come from Australia. Also, our quality standards have not changed - the boots we make in China are as high (if not higher) in quality than anything we have ever made. We also continue to make some UGG brand footwear in Australia and New Zealand. The UGG Ultra short, Ultra tall, Sundance ll and Nightfall, for example, are all made in New Zealand. Some scuffs and slippers are made in Australia
