The Ugg Sandal: Summertime Fur (Not As Nuts As It Sounds)
partner
Last week, in her
Cute Outfit Of The Day portrait,
my ever-lovely colleague
Noria Morales had on some gorgeous,
delicate
strappy sandals by—of all companies—Ugg. Intrigued, I did a little
googling to get a closer look. I found them on
zappos.com,
and they are indeed as chic as they looked in her picture, with tiny
wedge heels and skinny laces that wrap around the ankle. Most
fascinating though is that the narrow leather band that runs across the
toe of the shoe is lined with the brand's signature sheepskin. Could
fur possibly make any sense on a sandal?? I promptly emailed Noria, and
she had this to say: "I know, I thought the furry part was ridiculous
at first too. But it actually just feels like this little hint of
softness, and since the rest of the style is so bare, it doesn't get at
all hot or uncomfortable. Plus, you'll never have to worry about
blisters or chafing or any of that other yucky foot stuff." I'm sold.
