UGG Australia & the Patriots

Tom Brady for UGG Australia



We are officially rooting for the Patriots. It was an easy choice once we figured out what was really important. Now, we may have a slightly different set of priorities than the teams on the field, but here is what we reckon is important: UGG® Australia boots. That’s right, those hyper-comfortable boots and stylish shoes. Before you break out the record books and stat sheets, you should know that we did put some thought into our decision. Our approach was just a little different than, let’s say, a more traditional sports media outlet might take.

We skipped over the compare-and-contrast discussion of coaches, did not listen to a word about talented, aggressive offense versus experienced, sack-happy defense, and blissfully ignored all the smack-talking linebackers with the catchy nicknames. For us, it’s all about the quarterbacks. Not actually comparing them so much as ignoring one in favor of the other. You know, maybe it would have been better if I had started this whole thing by just saying “We are officially rooting for Tom Brady.” Because that is exactly what it comes down to.�

Mizuno: Truth in Running

“Going for a run.” It sounds so simple, almost mechanical somehow. It’s as if going for a run were just the next thing happening and nothing more. But it is more. According to Mizuno, there is Truth in running—and that’s with a capital T.   

If you are a runner of any regularity and/or distance, you have probably touched on the Truth at the core of the Mizuno philosophy. There is a transcendent moment that can only be truly understood in the first person. It’s the moment when the connection between runner and running surface becomes effortless, and the rhythms of heartbeat, breath and footfall all fall into perfect syncopation. It feels like it could go on forever; like it has been going on forever.

For the Love of SOREL

For the Love of SOREL

I love SOREL boots for a hundred reasons, but if I had to list them, 95 of them would be FUR! There is something magical and delicious about tall, fur-lined boots from SOREL. They are the go-to fashion footwear for the coldest, snowiest days of the year. If you don’t believe me (and why wouldn’t you?), just check out your favorite celebrity blog. SOREL will be there.

Honestly, it’s a little difficult picking out just a few winter boots to showcase here. It’s sort of like sharing your favorite band with somebody who has never heard of them, “Listen to this one…wait, this one…oh, and this one…great, right?…now these two.” Tell you what; I am just going to stick with the ones in my closet for now. My default winter boot is the SOREL Joan of Arctic. It’s waterproof, comfortable and grippy—and has that terrific faux fur snow cuff to help keep the cold away.

Magnum Boots: For People Who Get It Done

Men's Magnum Boots

These are boots for people that get stuff done. You know the type; the folks that have a plan for the day and just seem to have a motor in them. They may wear other shoes when it’s time to relax, but when it’s doing time, it’s time for Magnum boots. These great-looking boots are crafted in full-grain leather and ballistic nylon mesh, and they come in any color you choose—as long as you choose black or tan.

12 Days of Giving: Wrap-up

This Contest Closed

The 12 Days of Giving may be over now, but they sure were fun while they lasted. If you haven’t yet had an opportunity to go through the comments, we’d like to encourage you to do so. Each new day and new question brought in hundreds of comments from around the country. Some were sweet and heartfelt while others were funny; we had some sad ones, some silly ones, and some very, very short ones. All in all, it was great to be able to step into your world and share a bit of the holidays with you.

We learned a little something, too. You just can’t read almost three thousand comments without picking up a few common threads. Most of you came back more than once to participate in the 12 Days of Giving, and a few of you even made it to all 12 Days. It could be fun to put together all 12 answers from the same person and see how they summed up the holidays. Hmm, maybe after the holiday rush.

For the Love of Haflinger

Haflinger Classic Slippers

I have been a fan of Haflinger since I got my very first pair of Haflinger slippers one Christmas in high school. They were cute and toasty and just had a sort of timeless slipper aura about them. Put it this way, if you were asked to draw a picture of a pair of slippers, the image would look like Haflinger slippers. I say that with confidence in part because Haflinger has a ton of styles, but you get the point. And then there’s these, too:

It’s day eleven of the 12 Days of Giving and it’s time for a little free time. It’s the holidays after all, and there is plenty of running around that needs to be done. Of course, there is absolutely no reason you can’t do it in style, so we are featuring great shoes from Tsubo today.

For the women, we have the Tsubo Cusus bootie. This snappy little number could take you from work to the mall to dinner with friends, and not even blink once. It’s as comfortable as it is versatile and features a full grain leather upper and EVA padding in the footbed. And don’t worry if it gets a little slick out, Tsubo has covered the sole of the Cusus with clever little traction pods.

It’s day ten of the 12 Days of Giving and it’s time to get outside. We don’t mean running from the front door to the car door, we mean oh-you-tee, out…outside…out of doors. It’s time to grab your coat and see where real boots go to play. This is exactly the sort of weather that calls for great winter boots from Columbia. And that’s exactly what we are giving away. If your name is selected you get to choose either one of the two Columbia Bugaboot Plus styles we are featuring today.

The women’s Columbia Bugaboot Plus features a waterproof suede upper and injection-molded waterproof thermal rubber shell. They are sturdy, comfortable and have a couple hundred grams of Columbia’s Omni-Heat® insulation packed inside for toaster-level warmth. Plus, they are pretty sweet looking winter boots.
