Classic Boot (Men)

I was looking online for slippers for my husband, after he jokingly borrowed my fuzzy socks one cold morning and was in heaven. When these classic short boots appeared on sale, and in his size, I went out on a limb and ordered them, mostly as a comical Christmas gift. I just wanted to see his expression when his "girl" boots arrived; half expecting we would exchange them for slippers. While he did seem genuinely shocked and chuckled quite a bit, he eagerly tried them on, and immediately wanted me to spray them with stain repellent, so he could wear and keep them. When I woke up the next morning, he was already awake, making morning coffee in his Uggs. Later that day, he braved wearing his boots to the movies (jeans over boots) and while he felt a bit awkward (like wearing pjs in public), he loved it. He said they feel like hugs on his feet. His feet and ankles are covered and warm; unlike traditional slippers. I gave him other more expensive gifts too (man toys) but this was the best gift of all; totally unexpected and fun, and he really loves them! Btw, he wears 10.5-11 normally. Ordered these in 11. He said they were a bit snug initially but fit comfortably. Based on other reviews they are expected to stretch in time; so this is the ideal initial fit.

My 17 year old son is a competitive swimmer that practices twice a day most weeks. We leave the house at 4:30 AM. He heard teenage girls, including his sister, always talking about how warm and comfortable their UGG boots were, and was very jealous. He then spotted them in an ad for guys. He did some online research and discovered that UGG boots were originally used by surfers, first in Australia and then in California. I purchased them for his birthday. He now wears them to morning practice every day. They keep his feet warm on the way to practice and he can slip them right on when he gets out of the pool. Other guys on his swim team have told him that UGG boots are at the top of their Christmas list now.
