Review on UGG Bailey Button in Blackberry Wine Krinkle

Yesterday I received my new UGG Bailey Button in Krinkle!!

Cute button design at the side

I bought mine from the official UGG site, and got it shipped to Singapore with vPOST. I received them in 2 weeks. vPOST is this really useful service provided by Singpost which allows you to purchase products online from companies that only ship to USA, Europe and Japan and get them shipped to Singapore at a cheaper rate. All you have to do is register with vPOST, and enter your personalised vPOST shipping address at check out (of the website you are making a purchase from). vPOST will receive your item from their branch in that country and get it shipped to Singapore to your address at a reasonable rate! More details about how this works can be found here.

The UGGs are incredibly comfortable. I got a pair in the Classic Short style last year for my year end trip to Hong Kong and Japan, walked all day in them and did not feel any pain at all!! The reason for this is that the boots come with a soft foam insole covered with genuine sheepskin, which make the interior very soft and comfortable. I got this pair in size 6 this time as the size 7 I got last year became a little loose after walking in them for about 2 days. When I first wore the size 6, it felt a bit tight as my big toe was already touching the front of the boot. I walked around the house in them for a while, and now the boots feel all snug and comfortable (did I use the word 'comfortable' again!). Problem solved!

The shaft is about 7 1/2" tall, perfect for tucking into jeans or wearing with a skirt. Not a problem to match with patterned stockings or leggings either. The style is so versatile that you can just match it with anything! If you find the shaft a bit too loose for your liking, you can just tighten it by twirling the rubber band around the button for another round and the shaft should fit nicely around your shin.

Highly recommended =)
