Ugg Boot Sales Remain Strong in Economic Downturn..
Hip Candy
Ugg boots. I'll tell you, people either love them or they hate them. And "Ugg hate" goes
far beyond dislike, into another whole realm of cringe and loathing. But I have to admit,
I'm ok with them. And apparently, I'm not alone:
Aside from spending less [in this economic downturn], shoppers are choosing differently
when they indulge. What are they buying? In a word, Uggs. If it seemed like those
sheepskin baked potatoes were on everyone's feet last year, that's because they pretty
much were, with sales growing a whopping 57 percent.
Shoppers have shifted their top priority from looking good to feeling good, says Elaine
Goldstein, chairwoman of the accessories design department at the Fashion Institute of
Technology. Consumers want their purchases to make them feel good about themselves,
whether the rationale behind the buy is "They're so comfortable I'll wear them
everywhere" or "They're so well-made I'll keep them for years."
If I'm flying on a plane to almost ANYWHERE, they're on my feet. I CANNOT have
cold feet on a plane. I've experienced having cold feet on a plane a while back. We were
stuck on a tarmac for 2 hours before we could take off and it was excruciatingly painful
sitting there with flimsy sandals on and freezing cold feet. Nope. Won't happen again.

To me Uggs are an insult to fashion. I have never bought a pair when they were "in" and I'm not buying any in the future. |
