Trendy or Money-Smart? You Choose

Have you ever heard of or owned a pair of Ugg boots? Ugg Australia is a VERY popular boot brand, mostly for females from the age of 11 and up. Uggs are lined inside with sheepskin, to give them that “oh-so-soft” feel. Along with comfortable yet fashionable look, there is a major price. Literally. Uggs range from $100 to $300 dollars and are known for clearing out the wallets of parents to teen girls everywhere. Some parents refuse name-brand shoes, but some give in to the costly buy. But is it worth it?

Yes, wearing the hottest trends can be tempting, but are the prices of these boots too extreme? On their website you’ll find sales and specials from time to time, but the boots are never quite “cheap”. Personally, I think that it’s perfect to buy the boots for a holiday or birthday present, but it’s a bit silly to just buy them to buy them. I own 2 pairs of Uggs that I take really good care of because I know they are worth a lot. So all in all, Uggs are fine to buy if you truly can afford them and you always appreciate the value of a dollar.
