Not So Uggly Anymore

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

High-Heeled Ugg Boots

— September 23, 2007 — Fashion
The big, bulky Ugg boots that have been re-appearing for the last few years are returning once again as the weather chills, but this year, the Aussie shoe comes in less Uggly styles -- they've even launched a heeled version of the fleece-lined boots.

The brand gained popularity when celebrities like Sienna Miller, Penelope Cruise, Cameron Diaz and Pamela Anderson started wearing them. Even celebrity kids are wearing them now, including Gwen Stefani's little guy.

To date no celebs have been spotted wearing the new heeled Uggs, but if they do decide to give the look ago, the shoes could become the next big thing... and once that happens, you'll probably have to wait for next fall to get your hands on a pair. My tip? Grab 'em now! Ugg has so many star clients, they'll be sure to start gifting pairs to fashionistas like Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham.
