Summertime Fur (Not As Nuts As It Sounds)

Last week, in her Cute Outfit Of The Day portrait, my ever-lovely colleague Noria Morales had on some gorgeous, delicate strappy sandals by—of all companies—Ugg. Intrigued, I did a little googling to get a closer look. I found them on zappos.com, and they are indeed as chic as they looked in her picture, with tiny wedge heels and skinny laces that wrap around the ankle. Most fascinating though is that the narrow leather band that runs across the toe of the shoe is lined with the brand's signature sheepskin. Could fur possibly make any sense on a sandal?? I promptly emailed Noria, and she had this to say: "I know, I thought the furry part was ridiculous at first too. But it actually just feels like this little hint of softness, and since the rest of the style is so bare, it doesn't get at all hot or uncomfortable. Plus, you'll never have to worry about blisters or chafing or any of that other yucky foot stuff." I'm sold.
