Well worn - the Ugg Boot Edition

 At the 2013 Bendigo show, I bought my first pair of ugg boots. i don't know why I never had ugg boots before that! 

In 2014 I bought a high pair, because I loved having ugg boots.

And then I wore them, and wore them and wore them. And in this year of the pandemic, I wore them even more.  I wore the short pair bald, and I wore holes in the soles of the long pair. 

I was planning to buy another pair at this years Bendigo show, but, as we all know, that didn't happen. I was stubbornly seeing if i could hold on until 2022, when two things happened: lockdown 6 looks like it's going to be a long one, and I fell over in the kitchen, because there  is no grip left on my Uggs. 

So I got on line and ordered replacements. And I love them. The short ones are a little higher, because I like having warm ankles, and they are a very sweet shade of purple.

The long ones have teal soles. I love teal. TBH they are a tiny bit tight at the top, which is why  I've rolled them. They might loosen up, or I can get the cobbler to make a little seam. I have quite robust calves.

And yet I'm hesitating to throw the old ones out. They are so well worn that they are not even comfortable anymore, but like an old dog that smells and pees on the floor, they have been through so much with me. So I thank them for their service, and hope that I can get a decade's worth of wear from my new beauties.
