Uggs get Ugglier

Just when you thought Ugg boots couldn't get any worse, these Ugg-style boots by Love from Australia show up on shelves. Not only has Love "painted" these already ugly boots pink, but they have added matching feathers. This is boot insanity at it's finest.

I feel that it is my civic duty as a fashionista to warn everyone against these hideous boots. Don't wear them because you will be viciously mocked by anyone that passes you on the streets. Actually, scratch that. You won't be mocked; your child will be mocked. These $125 boots are for babies, poor innocent babies. Don't mess up your child's reputation by placing these boots on their feet they may never forgive you.

Shop for these Ugg-ly boots at Kitson.com.

My god. I used to like Uggs when I was younger yet now I hate them with a passion. ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON wears them. I go out in town and OH! LOOK! Uggs! At first they were unique and cute yet now they're just another mass over-rated style that every young teen girl must have to be "popular". I just got a new pair of boots and they're very unique. Every time I go out I get so many compliments on them. So c'mon people you can be different and extremely fashion forward at the same time.
As for these Uggs...yuck. YUCK! I love the color pink and I love feathers yet NOT on a pair of boots. What if it was raining or snowing? Those feathers would be dead and pink shows everything. God nononono.

Since when do babies run around in the rain and snow?

While although I do agree that these boots are not something that I would ever wear, I disagree with the statement that they are an item that 'every young teen girl must have to be popular.' They are not always worn for their look, they are worn for their incomparable comfort. While although some may consider them to be completely repulsive, I would like you to find a shoe that is more comfortable than Uggs are.

Perhaps some adults may wear them for comfort, but teens and younger people in general are known to forego comfort for the sake of fashion. In this case, the vast majority of teen girls wear them because it's the "in" thing to wear. They want to be popular and blend in with the crowd, so therefore they buy uggs. There are plenty of shoes that are comfortable but no teen would dare wear them (i.e. grandma's walking shoes). If these weren't so popular and worn by celebs, I highly doubt many teens would wear them, given how un-stylish and overpriced they are.

Dansko shoes are great and actually have some arch support! They are also expensive, but worth every $$$.

My friend in my first period has uggs. When we're sitting on the ground, I lay on her feet because they make good pillows :D

Yeah and the only reason anyone wants them is because they are the popular thing to wear. Do you seriously think anyone would call them cute if they weren't so popular? Like if you saw only one person wearing them, I highly doubt anyone would want them. If something is popular, people think it's cute no matter ugly they really are. Celebs started wearing them, a bunch of people followed them, then everyone else bought them so they weren't left out of the trend.

I love uggs actually,
they are cute and amazingly comfortable. if they were so ugly, people wouldent be wearing them all the time and companies wouldent be copying them. People dont wear them to be "popular" they wear them to be "comfortable" easy, cute, and comfy the perfect things to just slip on. They defiantly beat any other boots, id rather wear uggs then the boots i see some people wearing like fur boots. I must say, they look much classier than roadkill wrapped around my feet.

ummm...hate to burst your bubble... but UGGS are made of sheepskin... the tanned side is face out and the fur is turned in...hence the wool you put you feet on. They are every bit the roadkill any mink coat is. Wake up.

meganb, 12-21-2007, 1:16AM

There is no 'e' in wouldn't! There is not even an 'e' in would not, so where do you get the notion that it suddenly appears?
Defiantly? You misspelled a word into a completely different one. Definitely, unless you mean they "defiantly beat them" in the sense that they beat them rebelliously? And finally, Uggs structure/design is so horrendous that I could never shame the word classy by describing a pair of those "fashion boots" as such. Trendy yes, classy, never. Classy can withstand time, Chanel is a perfect example, whereas some things (Uggs) simply do not stand up to the challenge. Here today, gone tomorrow.

I COMPLETELY agree with the comment that "every girl believes they need it to be popular" Because ive seen identical ones at Payless, Bob's, JCPenny, and you dont see anyone wearing those..you only see Uggs.

Contrary to popular beliefs Uggs are ugly, not cute. Coming from a guys perspective and what all his friends and any other guy he's met...says that they are ridiculous and quietly make fun of woman who wear them. Ladies trust me, I have yet to talk to a guy that hasn't made fun of them...unless they're gay and we all know that opinion does not count.

WHO CARES WHAT GUYS THINK LOL

Gabe, 12-20-2007, 9:00PM

Usually the gay opinion counts a lot. I'm surprised to hear that you think it doesn't count. Gay men are known for their eye for fashion and most desirable young women have a "gay boyfriend" around for tips.
PS Most gay guys I know think Uggs are obnoxious and not fashionable. Although, I must admit they are very comfortable, functional, and convenient.

Jane, 12-20-2007, 10:13PM

Although I don't like uggs, I don't think women should re-arrange their lives to wear and do whatever men expect of them.

Uggs are warm, and cozy. yes, those uggs r weird, but if u took all the stupid feathers off them then they're fine. plz, boots don't make u "popular" or a "loser" and i only have 1 thing 2 say 2 kyle... wtf??? are ppl catorgorized by their boots at your school?? how old are you anyway? because at my high school, ppl wear what they want really, i mean there are trends and stuff and ugg boots are popular, but that's because girls at my school want 2 b comfy. uggs are uggs, and its winter, so get over it.
