Fashion Slave on a Budget with cheap UGGs

Right now the UGG seems to be the boot to get if you want to be up on the latest fashions. It is a great boot and is very popular. But finding cheap UGGs can be hard to do if you simply must have the latest and greatest of all that is fashionable. You can spend a small fortune to be ahead of the curve. So what can you do? Hopefully this article will help you out in getting the shoes you want, without having to sell your prize possessions to get them.

First a little history. According to Wikipedia, the UGG boot has been around for a very long time in Australia. "In Australia and New Zealand, sheepskin boots have long been popular with people in rural occupations, such as sheep shearers, who have ready access to the raw materials." If someone is working in a very physical occupation, they would need sturdy, reliable shoes. In winter it becomes especially important to keep the feet warm. If your feet get hurt, you'll have a hard time making a living.

Mostly when someone says UGGs they mean the UGG Australia brand. This brand is very high quality, and therefore makes it the most expensive brand, usually. There are other brands with styles similar to UGGs, such as EMU Australia and Bearpaw. They tend to be a bit cheaper, but are still good quality boots.

UGG Australia is constantly coming out with new styles. One that is a particular favorite is the Women's Classic Crochet, available in several colors, and currently priced at $100 USD. This boot can be worn indoors and out and just looks cozy and warm. As of this writing the UGG Australia Sandra boot on the Nordstrom website is $324.95. This is a great boot. It looks good and is toasty during the winter months. Nordstrom has the UGG Australia Broome boot for less than $250.00. Also a great boot.

If UGG is a bit too expesnive for you, you could try EMU Australia Unisex Sandra boot shown at Amazon.com (as of this writing) at $74.95. Styles and prices change constantly, so you might want to look around for the best deal.

As far as getting the latest tends on our feet as soon as they come out, this is probably only important to celebrities who just might get them free anyway. It is their job to help set trends, so they need to look as up-to-date as possible. Important for them, yes. Important for us, not so much. These are undoubtedly great boots, whether you get UGGs, EMU Australia or Bearpaw, but if you can stand to wait for a while, these same boots should come down in price as the next big thing comes along. The law of supply and demand will make these cheap UGGs as they move out of the "IT" thing to have. Less popular, less demand, lower price. Of course, being a name brand will keep them more expensive than just any old boot, but you can still find them cheaper down the road. Just keep your eyes open. Remember, it is the same great looking, high quality boot it was when it was hot, and it will still look good on you 6 months after the craze dies down.

It is important to look good and feel good about what you are wearing, but what are you willing to give up to be on the bleeding edge of fashion?
