Never Woulda Thought It

Today I undertook a quest that ended quickly and happily: I shopped for new boots.  I have dress boots and a pair of ass-kickers, but I wanted something warm, waterproof, and a little bit wonderful for the upcoming cold weather.  I do a lot of schlepping around campus, and some days I can’t bear to do it with a few extra inches propping me up.

I tried on contenders, but none did the trick, too big around the ankles, too big around my calves.  Last stop, Nordstroms.

And here’s what caught my eye:

I know.  Uggs are so not me.  I like a narrow toe or a chunky platform.  I’ve turned my nose up at Uggs over and over.  As we walked by the display, I commented to Neal, "these are just a little bit fabulous."  He didn’t quite agree, saying they were a bit hippy for my usual taste.

I tried them on anyway. People, my feet have never been so comfortable without being bare.

I may never take them off.

  1. Marvelous boots! I like the seaming on them.
    I have a pair of the original Ugg boots which are very comfy, but they tended to slip off since they were unstructured. These look like I would not have to worry about losing a boot.

  2. YAY! I have a pair of fake uggs i got at daffy’s several years ago in the kid’s clearance seciton for $8. I have a hard time finding boots in my size so i’ve sorta given up. you’ve inspired me to look again.
