Shoe Buying Rules

Even though UGG boots can be dressed up or down depending on the event you plan to wear them to, we’ve received several questions regarding whether or not UGG boots are appropriate business attire. This is an excellent question that we think needs to be addressed.
While UGG boots are incredibly fashionable, some employers are less than thrilled to see their employees showing up to work in something they deem to be casual. So here’s the rule of thumb. If you work in a “business professional” environment you probably shouldn’t wear your UGG boots to work. If you work in a “business casual” environment you might consider wearing them, but should gauge whether or not your level of “business casual” leans more towards the business or casual end of the spectrum.
In today’s economy more and more women are finding it difficult to add to their once growing shoe collections. If you find yourself in this situation make sure you purchase a pair of shoes that is versatile, especially if you need to dress them both up and down. Remember the following:
Buy shoes that are either black or beige and make sure they are closed toe. Shoes of these color tones work with skirts and pants and can be worn during any season.
Make sure your feet don’t show through holes or straps. Strappy shoes are cute, for sure - but the more your foot shows the less appropriate your shoes really are for a business environment.
Buy the best quality pair of shoes possible. It may cost you a bit more upfront to do so, but you’ll end up spending less because your shoes will last longer.
Ready to enhance your wardrobe with a new pair of shoes? Hopefully you can fit UGG boots into your business environment. If not, find a pair of shoes that will last you well into the next season in both style and color. You won’t regret a sensible choice!
