Pamela Anderson’s Laundry Boots

Posted by shoe addict on December 29, 2008

Pamela Anderson doing laundry

Q: Hi, can you help me find a suede boot that I recently saw Pamela Anderson wearing while she was doing her laundry outside her home in California?  It looks like an Ugg boot but it isn’t.  It’s super tall and big calf area, its right at the knee area and kinda slouchy looking.  This boot looks like suede but not sure…it has a big pull tab on the top of the boots…can you help me with a brand name??? Thanks much, Debi

A: I’m presuming they are not Uggs either because 1) the only Ugg style with pull tags is the Ugg Swell Tall, and 2) Pamela Anderson boycotted Uggs last year after learning they’re made from real sheepskin. She recommends Stella McCartney or Juicy boots, and told PEOPLE she was in the process of designing some Ugg-alternatives for Star, her cruelty-free shoe line.  Maybe this is a beta pair? Or does anyone else have any insight?

Here are a few faux alternatives while we wait…

Quiet-S by Soda Flat Suede Fold Over Boot, $41.98 from LoveMyShoes.com

Women's Skechers Cunning Intricate

My eighteen year old daughter, Ali, went shopping this past weekend and bought these boots from Skechers. She says they are comfy and cute. Did I mention she likes shoes as much as her mother and cousin Kim? To be honest I thought she had a pair of these already, but coming from a mother that has six pairs of tall black boots, who am I to say anything?

Skechers Cunning Intricate stylish tall boots feature a suede upper with faux fur lining and EVA sole.  Available for $58.95 from Shoebuy.com in various colors - Sand, Black, Chestnut and Chocolate.
