Ugg Boots: Take Two

Rainy season is just around the corner and so for the past few weeks, as the weather got a bit cooler and a little rain began to fall, my mind turned to my Ugg Boots. The pair I got last rainy season are not made for really rainy weather. You can see them, here.
I have another pair that serves me during storms. When I checked them out, I found that they are wearing out and have a hole in the heel. They are cheap boots but they have served me fairly well these past years.
Being that last year I waited til after Christmas to start looking for the Ugg boots that I eventually got, there were no black colored ones left. So I decided to start right now and see if I could get a pair that fit, in Black.
I ordered a lovely pair with beautiful Indian style trim. They are black boots with impressive black and white trim. You can see them here. They came the other day and they were way too small for my feet and even my calf. That was the deal breaker, so I had to return them. I noticed that across the street from my bus stop, there is a shoe store with Ugg Boots. So yesterday I decided to check the place out. What could I lose, 5 minutes of my time? :-)
I walk in and the place is just full of Ugg Boots! I was so incredibly happy to get to see some of them and feel them. Ugg Boots feel like no other. Really. The sales lady and I had a pow wow and between the two of us, I ended up with these boots, called Classic Short. They are men's boots (which means they are wider width, but otherwise identical to the women's boots).
Most important...they are black!!!!!!!
Yay team!
The lady explained to me that she never gives black boots to anyone but regular customers. I think she gave me a pair, because they were men's boots and those don't sell as fast as women's.

They are so comfortable and they were over $50 cheaper then the ones I ordered a week ago. I bought spray to waterproof them and a cute keychain, so the price came out close to what I would have spent...but being these are my Christmas and Birthday gift, that is just fine.


Do I have to wait til Christmas to wear them? ;-)
