Uggs

[Trendsetter2]

its weird how some uggs look great on some people and ridiculous on others!

I reckon Ben stole them from Miss Lopez

OMG What is wrong with him??!!

Dear Lord, why are you doing this to us??

I think the problem with uggs is when some girls wear them and they are the cheap ones. They shape of the uggs goes pear shaped and looks horrible, I think its cos some girls cant walk properly in them!

And uggs dont look too good on big girls in my opinion. You need slimmish legs to pull it off really.

I don't think that at all. I'm not a size 6 and I look pretty good in mine

Sorry Buttercup, I did not mean to appear rude in my previous posting.
I'm sure you look great :-)

I was just re-reading this thread and I think a lot of people wrote Uggs off to quickly. As much as you might hate them, I really don't think they are going anywhere. It is pretty evident if you go out onto the New York City streets on any cold day that in cold climates, people need to have a warm footwear option, and a lot of them are turning to Uggs. I don't really think it is about a trend anymore, they have become the flip-flops of winter. Cheap, weather appropriate, and easy to wear.

exactly ... last year they were all crazy super trendy and this year they have just gone back to being what they have been all along ... reall comfy, warm, wear everywhere in the winter shoes ... i cant ever remember a winter without uggs ...

See...this is why America gets so much heat from other countries...because America is always BULLYING people. That is not right. Uggs belongs to Austrailia...keep it that way. That sucks!

*deep breath*

Ugg Australia is an American brand. AMERICAN!! Dammit.

The word ugg, to NZers and Australians is generic. Well, it was until an American company trademarked the term. That's like trademarking the word "sneakers" and stamping SNEAKERS AMERICA on the back of the shoes you make.

Sheepskin boots (what we call ugg boots/uggs/uggies) have been around for many years in Australia and NZ.

Saying "knock-off uggs" or "fake uggs" is like saying fake sneakers or fake pumps. Doesn't work.

Ugg Australia brand boots are no longer made in Australia. They are made in NZ and China. They are then sold for a much higher price than real Australian/New Zealand brands. Eg, here in NZ Ugg Australia boots have just popped up in a store for $NZ240 compared to NZ brand boots for $NZ120.

Real Australian and NZ manufacturers/retailers are no longer allowed to call their boots ugg boots, despite the fact that the term "ugg boots" is deeply ingrained in culture Down Under and most people still call them that.

Fricking ignorant tourists swarm shops here asking for "real ugg boots" and think NZ/Aussie manufacturers are selling some kind of knock-off product.

if you live somewhere cold ...

 

[Trendsetter2]

yea, uggs are great.
they are the most comfortable footwear i have ever worn.




Everyone says uggs are 'out' for this season, but if you go into the shoe shops Uggs are being sold out in many sizes. I think they are around for quite a while yet

I loooooooooooove my UGGS. I didnt buy them to be trendy. In fact Im glad they arent so trendy anymore. I live in a cold climate & they keep my feet toasty warm & thats all I care about. If you want them for warmth get the real thing! If you just want to be trendy buy a look a like.

Hmm.. Uggs eh?

I remember seeing Andre Leon Talley giving a tour of 'the closet' and showed three pairs (pink, beige, blue I think) way back when on VH1 or something and remember thinking 'uh oh this is going to be ugly'. The boots are ugly, I think, bt they can look cute for the maybe 1 percent of the population that pulls them off. They are really damned comfortable, but they only look good/make sense on about 1 out of a hundred people. They are meant for beaches aren't they? Or cold climates? I'm not too clear on exactly what their purpose are, but when worn in an appropriate scenario they make sense - but ususally people just throw them on and think they're cool. Ever since they came into fashion and available at K-Mart you see them popping up at clubs, bars, formals, schools... its just total anarchy lol!

I'm from Canada (not a very savoury part let me tell you) and I personally wear mukluks because they are flippin' warm. I've been wearing shearling on my feet for years! Of course where I'm from, nobody really knows their right from their left, so I look totally bizarre if I wear them out. I can't wait to move some place more sensible (in any sense really, preferably fashion sense but I'd even take common sense).

i hate them...i can't wait for that trend to die..lol it's so 2004

 

[Fashion Puss]

I'm not even going to dignify these with a comment...

Comfy hooker!

I think Uggs are worth their price and definetely their comfort. I don't think it's the most stylish but they are soooo comfortable.

I hear they're out this season as well.. but I see them everywhere.. so they're really not I guess.

so true

 

[satinella]

Yeah, I also still keep and wear them because of the comfort, the heat they give. It's so practical the days when you just want to be quiet, and not dressed in a complicated way.
