UGG Brianna Review
If you ever need a feel-good story about a success that was made possible thanks to perseverance and tenacity, then look no further than UGG.
Founded in 1978 in California, by Brian Smith and Doug Jensen, Ugg boots were first known by the name of Ugg Imports. Later on, Smith and Jensen’s friends and family made 200.000 dollars worth of investment in the brand. And although the company sold just sold 28 pairs of boots in the first year of existence, they never gave up.
Gradually they expanded the company and the global presence of the merchandise. And by the early ’90s, UGG boots were on every American athlete during the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. By early 2000, ’s the Ugg boots were favorites among celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah. Back in 2003, the famous talk-show host even named the boots as one of her „Favorite Things“. The rest is history. The sales skyrocketed because practically everyone was wearing Ugg boots. Frankly, everyone is wearing the Ugg boot to this very day, and the demand for them is not slowing down.
But for now, let’s focus on the Brianna boot by Ugg. One of the most good-looking and comfy shoes in the Ugg’s catalog. Let’s have a closer look and see what makes this model so great. Let’s explore the flaws and strengths of the Briana boot.

Outsole
Treadlite by UGG is an extremely lightweight and ultra-durable outsole that works wonders in this type of shoes. When it’s compared to traditional EVA outsoles, Treadlite has 16% more durability than the EVA outsole, 20% better traction on wet and dry surfaces, and cushioning that lasts 25% longer than any other outsole on the market.
Midsole
The famous enerG Comfort System insole uses the acclaimed micro pod technology, which combines a soft foam and polyurethane pods for a more supreme cushioning in the shoe. The insole’s top layer is made of 17mm UGGpure moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial open-cell foam, that allows your feet to breathe, while the bottom layer maintains its shape for the entire life of the shoe. Durability and maximum support all wrapped in one single layer.
Upper
That gives the boots a great deal of insulation and overall comfort whenever it’s needed the most. Oh, and there’s no way of forgetting the metal rope button that sits on the side of the boot, and nautical charms that accompany the button. The metal charm consists of a small metal anchor and sea shell and it looks amazing in contrast to the serious and monochromatic design. The charm gives the boots their whimsical quality and improves the old-fashioned design without going overboard with embellishment.

The metal button and metal nautical charm that hangs on the site of the boots gives them a more polished and sophisticated look, and the monochromatic color of the upper makes them suitable for almost every relaxed occasions. Did you know that the Briana boots by Ugg are a favorite piece of footwear to almost all the Hollywood actors? Yes, if you sport any photo of the Hollywood’s stars that are coming out of their trailers, you’ll notice that 90% of them are wearing Ugg boot. The ladies especially love the Briana, model but any Ugg boot is a must on the actor’s feet.
Bottom line
The airflow is also fantastic, but this is not a shoe that you can wear on any type of terrain or to any type of weather conditions. The rain is one of the biggest enemies to these boots, and so is the general moisture that has the potential to ruin the boots fairly quickly. But if you’re looking for a comfy, flexible and highly lightweight shoe that will protect your feet from cold, and will keep your feet moist-free, this is the perfect pick for you. The Briana shoe, although flawed is an excellent choice to make.
