Uggs and other shearling boots continue to take the world by storm are not just trendy, they are very practical for kids. In fact, I think that they're ideal for kids; they keep feet warm even when the temperature drops well below freezing, and they amazingly, don't overheat little feet when indoors. Kids love Uggs because they are very comfortable, and because they are really easy to pull on and off.

Uggs are crafted from high quality sheepskin suede for superior quality and warmth. The woolen sheepskin is breathable, keeping feet warm without over heating, and it keeps moisture away from the skin.
Sometimes it's important to have the real thing. Some parents buy Uggs for their kids because they are comfortable, warm and well-made. Some enjoy buying name brand items for the purposes of fashion. That's great. But some parents are looking for alternatives--the Look for Less. That's great too. Let's weigh our options.

Real Uggs come in many shapes, sizes and colors. If you want a genuine pair of Uggs for you kids, you have a lot of options, but the most well know style of Ugg boots are their Classic Boots.
