Working on film sets in Vancouver you saw nothing but Uggs on people’s feet. Everyone’s except mine. When I lived in New Zealand we’d make fun of the Australians who wore them – calling them “Uggers” and I vowed never to wear them. Especially since when I moved to Los Angeles and girls were wearing them with shorts in 30C/80F weather!

Never say never.

Although, in fairness, I do not wear the boots (can’t do it) but I do wear these slippers every day. I’ve suffered with cold feet for years and lots of slippers just couldn’t warm them up, or were uncomfortable, or broke down or whatever. But these, these little fluffy friends keep my feet warm, cosy and wear beautiful around the house or a quick dash out in the yard.

They never make your feet sweat, they’re easy to slip on and off but don’t come off easily (so if you sit cross legged or one foot tucked under they won’t pop off). They’re my favourite slipper – so much so I’ve convinced most of my friends to get a pair – even those who once vowed never to own something “Uggers.”
