Fur Boots For Those Cold Winter Months
As the cold months of winter approach, is it time to bundle up and fight off the cold.
While you can layer on the sweaters and long underwear, your extremities are the hardest to keep warm, especially in bitterly cold weather.
Most people complain that it is their feet that feel cold the fastest and if you are outdoors for prolonged periods of time, frostbite can be a real hazard for improperly insulated toes.
You can add extra layers of socks and even heat generating inserts, but one of the best things that you can do to keep your feet warm during the winter is to don a pair of fur boots.
Animals have been using fur to keep themselves warm for millions of years.
Therefore, the insulating properties of fur have become honed to a fine edge.
Fur comes in to layers, a soft and downy under-fur that traps heat in, and a coarser, longer outer fur that acts as protective barrier against the elements.
It also keeps any heat from escaping into the atmosphere.
When fur is used to line the inside of boots it gives your feet those two layers of protection again the cold.
Fur is a very soft material and is comfortable on your feet; so comfortable in fact, that most fur boots don't require socks unless the climate warrants them.
The most popular style of fur boots are commonly called uggs.
While now a recognizable brand name, this style of boot first became popular in Australia in the seventies and took America by storm in the early years of this century.
Ugg boots are made from sheepskin.
The inner part of the boot is full of soft fleece, the wool that can be clipped from the sheep while it is still living.
However, the outer part of the book is made from treated leather.
This combination of sheep leather with the wool still attached is the most popular type of animal fur worn today.
The style of uggs is unisex and fairly standardized.
Regardless of color combination and stitching detail, the top of the boot extends in a tubular fashion to about halfway up your calf.
The sole give you around an inch of height.
The toe is rounded, giving the whole boot a "cute" and chunky look.
These fur boots are all the rage across the United States as they are perfect for keeping your feet warm as you tramp around the city streets.
