How used!

So I practice Bikram yoga and I live close enough to a studio that I can walk to and from class. This means I get to shower at home, which is awesome, and it also means I walk home in my sweat-drenched clothes. I wear capri leggings so when it's cold outside my ankles are bare unless I wear socks or tall boots. Last winter I almost relented and bought Uggs, because they so perfectly suit my specific need.

But I have issues with Uggs. And so my solution for last year involved long socks and fleece-lined moccasins.

Except after ninety minutes in the hot room, coating your sweaty feet and ankles in thick fabric feels less than appealing. Fortunately, even without socks, the fleece lining kept my toes from going numb, if not exactly keeping them toasty. But those moccasins are wearing through, and I made a discovery.

Uggs makes moccasins! Talk about a beautiful compromise. I'll get wool fleece lining and sure my ankles might still be a little chilly but my toes would be insulated and snug, sockless and wicked dry and warm.

So I did a search on eBay, and found plenty of people selling Uggs...used.

Would you buy a pair of boots used? Boots specifically intended for use without socks? Can you effectively sanitize/clean sheep wool?

Takes the idea of walking a mile in someone else's shoes to a new level....
