I am trying to picture what I would do to make these high end… Real Italian leather? A pearl brooch? Other expensive ingredients and sparkles? Maybe the differences won't be that extreme, but I hope each designer puts his personal touch on the shoe. I'm certain at the very least you'll be able to pick out which Uggs came from Betsey Johnson (UGG Classic tall 5815 boots, please!).

It's not only a great event for charity but probably also a good move to keep Uggs alive and relevant… especially with the number of people who'd like to see them disappear for good!UGG boots on sale!

I will of course keep wearing my Uggs because A) I have them and B) they are warm, but if your kid asks Santa for Where the Wild Things Are UGG boots… I feel for ya.

I've read a few reviews where people are saying to order a size too small, or rather a size below their regular size.... this I do not agree with, I'm a size 9, I ordered a size 9, and they fit perfectly, an 8 would have for sure been too small, so I would reccomend that you stick with your usual shoe size when ordering these boots... p.s. this is my 3rd pair of <a href="http://www.pickyouruggs.com" target="_blank">UGG boots</a>, I just can't get enough of 'em hahaha. My first pair I ordered from the actual UGG website <a href="http://www.pickyouruggs.com" target="_blank">ugg boots sale</a>, and I was charged over $80 in shipping, my second pair (<a href="http://www.pickyouruggs.com" target="_blank">ugg classic tall 5815 boots</a>) I ordered from pickyouruggs.com and the shipping was free, and the boots were just as great as the ones I ordered from the UGG site. So if you're lookin' to buy some ADORABLE UGGS I would say go for it and do it from <a href="http://www.pickyouruggs.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.pickyouruggs.com</a>" target="_blank">www.pickyouruggs.com</a></a> Love 'em… they are so cute and comfy!!!!
