Replacing my Uggs


I've had the same pair of Classic Short Uggs in Sand for about five years now, and they are starting to show their age. I have tried using the Ugg Sheepskin Cleaner, but am getting tired of having to wait a whole day for my boots to dry after every cleaning. I was thinking of scrapping my original pair and opting for a cleaner, shinier set. I don't really wear them anymore as part of the classic "Ugg Uniform" (jeans/leggings/tights tucked in) - now they've kindof become my slouchy shoes, when i dont feel like going out in the cold in a cute outfit, I throw them on and go. I know people still think that it's stylish to wear them with pants tucked in, but i've had these things so long I don't think of them as a cute accessory that would add to my outfit anymore, because now I really just wear them to keep warm. Which begs the question, should I buy another pair to replace them, or would it just be a waste because i'm not going to really use them for anything other than keeping my feet warm in this cold Michigan weather? The ones I own still are quite warm, but are like the equivalent to one's old ratty tennis shoes. I must say though, I have gotten some very good mileage out of them and they are still very functional. I just can't see myself without my warm Uggs this winter...
