The easy to slip on and off footwear seemed like a perfect fit for the busy 27-year-old mother when running around after two young boys. And ugg shoes kept her toes toasty, to boot, on wintry mornings while waiting for her son’s school bus.”They felt like slippers walking around on the outside pavement,” said Morris.
But after wearing the trendy footwear from dawn to dusk for about a month, ugg shoes sale the Huntington, N.Y., native noticed that the arches of her feet and her heels were killing her. “I had to stop wearing them,” admitted Morris, who owns two pairs of the boots and even UGG clogs.
Still, when she sought the help of Archer, the podiatrist, Morris was surprised to hear she had developed posterior tibia tendinitis and that her UGG Sundance 5325 and flat feet were to blame. When flat-footed people slog around in a loose-fitting boot like UGG Ultra Short 5225, their ankles roll inward and their arches and tendons collapse outward with every step. (You can actually see the lopsided wear on one side of the rubber soles.)
Archer is especially worried about the boot’s roominess in the ankles and heels now that the boots are popular with both teens and toddlers. (Baby versions of the boot run $90.)
