More than 15 years ago (I know this b.c. I have pictures), everyone in our family -- mom, dad, cousins, etc. -- bought these really ugly, but very warm and cozy winter boots at Kinney Shoe Store in the Millcreek Mall. My cousin was the store manager and she let us in on her employee discount.
They were called UGGs.
Yup, it's true. Long b4 Lindsay Lohan was wearing them in the summer with a mini, all of the Lopers wore them around Erie...mostly to navigate the four-feet-of-snow-but school's-not-cancelled winters and definitely NOT as a fashion statement.
I still have those UGGs on the floor in my front closet. It seems it never snows quite hard enough to justify their clumsiness. I prefer my shoe boots which I think are much more fashionable, albeit perhaps less practical.
Earlier this week, I tried the UGGs on. For whatever reason, my feet have grown in the last couple years and, sure enough, they were at least a full size too small. So I cleaned them up and put them for sale on eBay for 99 cents.
Darn it if the auction isn't up to almost 30 dollars and it still has a day to go!! I honestly think that's about what we paid for them. 15 years ago. At the Millcreek Mall. At Kinney Shoes.
