Winter is coming and our thoughts are turning to cold weather apparel, and more specifically, how to keep warm and cosy. Normally this is an excuse to buy a ‘must’ have pair of Ugg boots, but then I found these.
They are for men and come in black and brown. Not the best looking shoes around - in fact very uggly - but if they are as cosy as the classic Ugg boots, then I think I can overlook the aesthetics issues. Oh and the fact they are meant for men.
