Ugg Boots, Ugg Slippers and More

By Julie Hellstrom

Okay, I don't know if you have noticed but almost every single teenager I see is wearing Ugg slippers. Not just the girls, but now the boys, too!

I guess what caught my eye is that they are the sheepskin type like the boots that last year (and as my teen told me this year too) were popular! We are talking slip-ons for girls and the moccasin ones for boys.

You might recognize the name - they are the makers of those Australian sheepskin boots that have been off-the-chart popular for a few years - they're back again this year. Ugh boots worn with leggings or skinny jeans tucked in and a big bulky sweater are the hit!

But in all fairness, these are cool, fashionable and even comfy shoes. You must treat yourself at the end of a long day (or at the beginning!) with these. A popular style is Scuffette UGG Slippers. They're made of soft, cozy sheepskin that keeps your feet warm during winter months and offers moisture-wicking comfort in the summer.

Classic style features on these wonderful slip-ons include exposed cuffs and decorative top-stitching. Suede soles have the signature UGG logo which is very important when you are trying to be an "in" teenager.

Check on the status of your Ugg boots at the same time. May as well get these marked of your 'need to have' list too. Especially since the cold and snow are knocking on the door. I have seen these worn with shorts and skirts in the summer and man are they sexy!

Now I must go on record saying I never give into the teens age old adage "Mom I won't fit in if I don't have them". So in order to maintain my respectability as a parent, I will concede because they are sensible shoe wear. (And boy are they cute!) - 16463
