Some might argue that there is nothing better than a comfy pair of shoes. And I would have to agree. This becomes even more true when referring to the colder months when the crisp, cold air makes every step feel like my feet are two rocks rubbing against one another.

As we are currently in the winter months and I was in desperate need of some new boots for my holiday trip home to St. Louis, I went on a shopping spree on Zappos.com. I’ve always been a fan of Zappos’ fast, free shipping, as well as their 365 return policy. I knew that if I didn’t love the shoes, I would have no problem returning them and getting a new pair before my trip home.

So what did I get? Well, let’s just say I got one for all the wintery occasions. Zappos has a large variety of UGG styles, which made it difficult to choose just one, so I went with a waterproof boot, sneaker, and a slipper. Take a look:

Naturally, it’s always good to have a waterproof boot if you are going anywhere with actual weather. Unlike Los Angeles, where it literally rains a total of 7-10 days a year, I wanted to be prepared. UGG has a wide variety of great boot options that are waterproof and best-of-all, super cozy and warm. I went with the UGG Harkley Waterproof boots, which features UGGpure wool linings (sheep or lamb) that naturally wick away moisture, while keeping your feet incredibly toasty. Its exterior is made from waterproof, full-grain leather and includes Treadlite by UGG, their patented tread design for ultimate traction.

One of the things I dislike about winter is always feeling like you have to be bundled up. As much as I love boots, it would be nice to be able to throw on a pair of sneakers that actually keep your feet warm. This is why I’m loving the UGG Maksim Hyperweave sneakers. You wouldn’t know it by looking at them, but the inside of these unique looking kicks are lined with the same UGGpure Wool you get from UGG’s boot collections. They’re lightweight, stylish, and extremely warm. I recently wore them on a trip to New York and has zero regrets.

UGG Scuff Slippers

I should preface this purchase with the recent home purchase I made. My wife and I bought our first home since being married and we are absolutely in love with it. The natural hard wood floors might be the thing we love the most about it, which segues into why I snagged a pair of the UGG Scuff slippers. You see, I’ve never been a slipper person, but also never had an entire home with wood floors. That being said, I wanted something super comfy I could wear while walking around on the cold surfaces, and these were it. There is nothing quite like sliding your toes into the soft fur in the morning.


I can honestly say that I’m now a fan of UGG footwear as much as I’m a fan of shopping with Zappos. Both provide an extraordinary amount of styles to choose from and the world class customer service to go with it. I highly recommend you take a look at all of the UGG styles available to get you through the cold weather months.
