Ugg Boot Miracle
September 19, 2007 · Print This Article
I nearly had to throw my ugg boots out.
Yes it is true. They were so munted, so split, that I couldn’t walk in them and besides all that cold air getting in kind of defeated the purpose.
Now I’m not an advocate of wearing ugg boots outside - they are NOT a fashion statement. They are a very comfortable and warm addition to my wardrobe and I can’t do without them. In fact I’m planning on getting some new ones at the Perth Royal Show. I bought some for Groover a couple of years ago and they are a much more sturdy make. But the show is still some weeks off and my tootsies were chilled.
I was desperate.
So before you throw your well loved uggys out… try this:
Find a knee-hi stocking. You might not own one but they are very cheap.
Stretch stocking over sad ugg boot.
Problem solved.
Of course, you’ll still be wearing ugg boots but as I said, ugg boots have their place. :)
Most women will wear their boots until the bottom of their soles wear out! Luckily, the sturdier boots like Uggs and Rocket Dog shoes will last a long time. Can’t find those coveted boots or dress shoes at your local store? Check online!
Hmmm…. Noice!!!
Very creative!
And yes, I also hate the “Ugg Boot Worn Outside House” thing. Especially when they’re hot pink - I’ve seen it!
PS. I’m a Swans supporter… since they used to be South Melbourne - and that’s where my mum’s family is from. I love my Swans!
PPS. We totally got ripped off in last year’s grand final… 1 pt? Pfft.
Hey we just got you back for the year before. :)
A miracle of invention!! Anything to save a comfy ol’ pair of uggies, but I must say your solution is simple, economic and effective (not to mention strangely lyrical). Has New Inventors contacted you yet? :-)
Now, any good quick-save ideas for a pair of unravelling moccasins?
Long live our bogan undercurrents. And indeed may they remain always inside the house.
No! Can you believe I didn’t send my invention to The New Inventors… what was I thinking?! Unravelling moccasins… hmmmm what about those little footsie stocking things that some people wear with ballet flats. Eww I know, but they do.
This reminds me of my Nana holding on to her ugg boots as long as possible, although she didn’t resort to the stocking!
I hope it’s warming up for you and that your Uggs will last the cold out.
In Cairns it is stinking hot. The thought of stockings and Ugg Boots is foreign.
