As in uggly?
These things, "Ugg boots", are all the rage in England at the moment. They could be elsewhere, too, I don't know (I'm going to California next week, so I'll keep my eyes open).OK, seriously, who thinks this is attractive footware for women? Cute? Sexy? Elegant? Sophisticated? Sporty even? No, absolutely not, no, no, and no.
They're clunky, ugly, and cheap looking. They 'age' badly as they get a little worn and wet/dirty (they're sheepskin suede as I understand it, which is difficult to take care of anyway).
There's a somewhat cute chick who works in my building, but when I saw her wearing a pair of these, well... Honey, they make you look like some kind of homeless eskimo. Get some proper shoes. Something, anything but these.
Seriously, I rarely get worked up about fashion. But I hope this particular trend fizzles in a hurry. Just when I thought we'd escaped the season of long, long, pointy witch-shoes. Bring back the witch-shoes, for goodness sake.

hate to tell you, but your cute chick is about 3 seasons behind the trend.
uggs are sooo last year! ;)
Well okay, but I work in Watford. 'Nuff said, right?
Andy,
You are right. They might be good to wear to a sheep shearing.
Our 17 year daughter thinks they are the last word in "cool" and when she got a pair for Christmas—not from us— she wore them everywhere, and propped them up on the table at the least excuse, so she could brag they were "real Uggs."
