Whooga boots as an alternative to UGGS

http://www.whoogaboots.co.uk/

I would thoroughly recommend this website for all your Ugg needs.
They are less than half the price of real Uggs - in fact a third of the price and 100% of the quality and look, the only thing missing is the label - and who looks that closely at someones foot anyway!

You won't be able to tell the difference between these and Uggs if you have ever worn Uggs before.

They are comfortable, warm and most importantly - like some other non Ugg branded boots, THEY DON'T SMELL!

I purchased a pair and the shipping isn't too steep and the arrival time was fast.

I've had them 3 months now and they are still looking great and just as warm as before.
The backs do not cave in like some Ugg style boots so they are also supportive of the foot and ankle.

The fur inside remains fluffy and warm and does not smell strange - as it allows air circulation in the foot.

I never want to take mine off!

More information on health benefits and quality of Ugg boots

Uggs boots are fast becoming a hot fashion item in the US and Canada, and for good reason. Ugg boots are wonderful Australian footwear that is making their presence felt in the worldwide fashion footwear arena.

Uggs boots are what are known by some as sheepskin boots. These boots have been made in Australia for tens if not hundreds of years, and are well known all over Australia. However now they are making an impact on foriegn markets.

An Ugg boot is made from the skin of an Australian merino sheep most commonly. The wool part of the skin faces into the inside of the boot and so lies against the leg. This results in a warm soft feel to the boot that is found only from wearing Uggs boots. The Ugg is unique in the level of comfort it offers to the wearer, and devotees of Uggs will maintain tenaciously that Uggs are the most comfortable boot on planet, unsurpassed by any other form of footwear.

The Ugg boot has the soft pliable skin of the sheep facing out as it has the woollen part of the skin facing in. This results in a soft outer or exterior skin to the boot that means that Uggs can be a little prone to damage and wear when used in wet weather or inclement, dirty or muddy conditions. The boot is not the most hard wearing of footwear, and so wearers of Uggs boots learn quickly that they need to use some discretion when selecting which day to wear their Uggs outdoors.

The sheepsking is usually sewn onto a plastic sole, and so the boot is not entirely waterproof. Water can enter around the sole, and although it is possible to buy Ugg waterproofing it is not a total solution. If you own a pair of Uggs it's better to treat your boots with care and respect and understand that even the best Uggs are not ideal for hard outdoor use and will wear out and get dirty quite quickly if treated too harshly.

However once the limitations of the boot are recognised and the owner of a pair of Uggs learns to use some discretion for just when they are worn, a pair of Uggs will last quite well.

Ugs can be the most comfortable boot you will ever wear. The unique qualities of the sheepskin mean that they will keep your feet warm in even the coldest of weather, but that if you wear them in summer they will not overheat your foot. The sheepskin breathes extremely well and the air spaces formed next to your leg by the looseness of the wool means that your lower leg and foot will be comfortable in the boot even in warm weather.

And Uggs are great indoors where waterproofness isn't an issue, and make wonderful house slippers. They can be bought in various lengths, so that you can get Uggs that come right up your lower leg to just below your knee, or ankly length Uggs that come up just above the ankle making ideal indoor slippers.

Over the last few years Uggs have become fashion footwear. They now come in all sorts of colors, styles and designs and are very popular in the US and Canada. Unfortunately this has resulted in Uggs becoming extremely expensive, with prices up to or over $500 a pair in some cases for the best of the best fashion boots.

It is possible to find cheaper Uggs but you need to be a canny online shopper to do so.

Anybody, from the very young to the very old, can enjoy a pair. It is quite possible to buy baby Uggs and they are ideal for the elderly who may suffer from poor circulation and cold feet. In both of these cases it may not matter so much about whether these wonderful sheepskin boots are fashionable or not, but in each case the wearer will love them.

Uggs boots are great footwear for anybody. From the very young to the very old a pair will be comfortable and enjoyable to wear, and for the fashion conscious they look great. Consider a pair of sheepskin boots for your next footwear purchased.

Where can I get the cheapest, best quality and authentic Ugg boots?

The internet is covered in websites offering cheap Ugg boots, but which ones are legitimate and which ones aren't? Which website will give me the best deal?

Fact 1: You will never get any better quality Uggs from those DIRECT from Uggaustralia.com and the various stockists order directly from them. So you CAN get authentic high quality Ugg boots from lots of other countries including the UK without paying hefty shipping charges by ordering from the Australian website.

A list of UK stockists are as follows:

Topshop
Schuh
www.toadfootwear.co.uk
Office

There are also two flagship stores in London, UK
London - Covent Garden
39 Long Acre
Westminster, London WC2
P: +44 (0)207 836 5729

London - White City Westfield Shopping Centre
Ariel Way, London W12 7GD
United Kingdom
P: +44 (0)208 740 8446

If you type a fast search in Google, you will see hundreds of retailers that come up offering cheap Ugg boots, th at they claim at 100% authentic.

Just a quick example of these fake retailers are:

http://www.uggforever.co.uk/
http://www.uggboots1.co.uk/
http://www.bestuggboots.co.uk/

99% of these are Chinese manufacturers creating, aesthetically, boots that look remarkably like Uggs. But they do not use the correct materials, they are not real sheepskin or fur and they will not have the durability or comfort of Australian Ugg boots.
Also, due to the fact that the fibres used are not natuaral, they are synthetic, the boots will have inadequete air circulation thus will harbor bacteria and will begin to smell, real Uggs will not have this issue.

Tip - It is worth noting that these websites change names RAPIDLY, due to the illegal nature of their business they are often shut down but reopen under similar, but different names, take note of this to avoid being ripped off. Some people have reported Uggs that have arrived that smell, have fallen apart or just are not Australian quality; because they aren't.

If the offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. It's highly likely they aren't real Uggs.

However, there is a cheaper alternative to Ugg boots that still provide with high quality material and comfort of real Uggs, the only thing missing is the brand name. Still, that's better than wearing uncomfortable smelly ones right?

www.whooga.com

They provide their own version of Uggs which are less than half the price with no loss of comfort or use of poor quality materials. Their Uggs still allow air circulation within the boot thus no smells occur and the boot is extremely comfortable and gives Australian Uggs a run for their money.


Another issue I would like to comment on, as I have seen many blogs that talk about Uggs as being 'UGGly' and bad for your feet and smelly. This is not true, if you buy correct and decent quality Uggs as stated above NONE of these things will occur.
