[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 102201, member: 1991"] I believe our uggs are cheaper, depending on the quality of the workmanship. Some places just make them for indoor use - it was originally surfies who popularised these in the 70s. My good knee-length black ones cost about A$160 and I wear them everywhere. They still last several years. My girls wear their mostly indoors and their last ten years or more. If you're stocking up on uggs for the family it's almost worth a plane trip Down Under to get them. I buy the somewhat better made ones with a decent rubber sole, then Scotchguard them so they can cope with getting wet. Still not waterproof, though. If they get wet you have to dry them cool, not let them get hot at all or they turn into brittle cardboard. But these days there are synthetic ones which you would swear is wool, until you begin to sweat in them. Yet another issue for those with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues (to try to bring us back to the original thread). I like the way they hug my leg (maybe it's a bit like easy child 2/difficult child 2 insisting on wearing laced corsets - she says it's like wearing a hug). They are comfortable (for me) and no seams or anything to rub. And feet are ALWAYS warm, even if the uggs are wet and I'm standing in snow. Also they're unisex - another bonus, considering what we were originally talking about. But it's summer here now, so thongs it is. On my feet. Or nothing. Even better! Marg [/QUOTE]
