Don’t bother measuring your insole you’ll never get it exactly right. Instead, check the measurements in cm or CHN on any of your sneakers. Use that info to find the corresponding US size in the size guide. For example, a 25 cm insole length corresponds to a US 7 in Vans. Keep in mind, sizes may vary slightly between brands due to different measuring methods.
UGG Boots: a divisive name for some, but for others, they are the best winter boots in the world. How did they achieve this? In 1978, Australian Brian Smith noticed that surfers, after getting out of the icy ocean, would wear sheepskin boots to warm up. Inspired by this, he realized that the thermal properties of merino wool and sheepskin—cooling in the summer and warming in the winter—could be used to create a unique footwear line. Using his knowledge from Australia, Smith introduced the UGG boot to the world, and the rest, as they say, is history.
UGG’s biggest surge in popularity came when Oprah Winfrey featured them in her list of favorite things, making them a global sensation. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid soon followed suit. Today, UGG has expanded beyond just boots, offering slippers, sandals, and apparel with a focus on quality craftsmanship and the right choice of materials. Even if you’re not a fan of the boots, the brand’s creative, trendy collections might catch your eye.
UGG also prioritizes sustainability and ethical practices. In 2016, the brand joined the United Nations Global Compact, a major corporate sustainability initiative that focuses on minimizing environmental impact. This commitment to sustainability is something we at Footshop greatly admire, and we’re excited to offer UGG as a brand that cares about both people and the planet.
