Rylie Reviews: Uggs Shopping Haul! Are they worth it?

For many years, I had been on the fence with regards to Ugg boots. I always thought they were really expensive--way more than I would typically consider spending on a pair of shoes/boots. Not to mention the whole criticism over Uggs being a whole fashion faux pas. So, for years I never bought them. After all, I lived in Florida anyway so I never had a need to buy them (or any boots for that matter). Now thats not saying we didn't have people in south Florida walking around in Uggs--we did; and they would often pair them with short shorts. I always said--if its cold enough to wear Uggs, it is certainly not warm enough to wear shorts!

Well, fast-forward a few years and now I find myself living in New York and really needing a good pair of winter boots. Being my frugal self, I bought a very inexpensive knock-off version of Uggs. I figured the cheaper version would be just as good and I would save the money. However, I quickly learned that sometimes the old adage "you get what you pay for" can be very true. Basically, the rubber sole was completely hallow (I suppose as a way for the manufacturer to cut costs) which means it wore down quickly and then cracked open. This meant then that whenever I walked in wet, melting snow, icy cold water would seep into my boot!

After that negative experience with the cheap knock-offs, I deceived to splurge and spend the money for a quality product and buy the Uggs. I bought my first pair of Uggs, the Triple Bailey Button, about a year ago. I absolutely love them. The quality is top-notch and well worth the extra cost. Not only is it nice to have a higher quality, more comfortable boot, they have already lasted me much longer then the cheap knock-offs. So over time, the Uggs may end up being a more cost-effective option because I won't have to replace them as often.

Now that I am an official Ugg-convert, I started looking for a new pair. I still loved my old pair, but I wanted a new color and style. I waited to find them on sale, and then went for the buy! I bought the normally $165 boots for about $130. hey are still on sale at Uggs online--no coupon code necessary! They also offer free shipping and returns. Check them out here.
