oh, look- ugly is beautiful! the ultimate fashion joke...

now, I wore hiking boots with me short skirts in college- but I was actually HIKING in them, so it made a bit more sense...

those are jsut ugly. and even uglier, the more leg they show...DH's big into the 'industrial Goth' look, with the school girl skirts and the jackboots...and while i think they're awful looking- I like THAT look better.

This is interesting. When you first posted, I didn't know what Ugg boots were. So I Googled and found them. Obviously I'm not very fashion forward, but to me they look soft, warm and surefooted. The word ugly just never came to my mind. Hmmm....maybe fashion is swinging back to my taste. I think I'll go shopping. :)

Gawd they've been around here forever - the California beaches I mean. Who needs them outside of a ski lodge? Since they're suede, you can't wear them in the rain or snow, and they get dirty immediately. I associate them with surf bums and surf chicks - although I haven't seen surfers wearing them in a long time.

They're comfy! But not long on looks. But I'm not looking to impress anyone anyway.

They have been around forever. I grew up in Alaska and everyone wears them. WARM!

They do get dirty easily, so we used to put light colored shoe polish on them and buff them smooth. They'd stay clean looking longer.

I think the new pink ones are cute.

We got a new Nordstrom here a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to browse their shoe department. Oh, ecstasy! I thought of you all as I examined the Ugg-ish boots. :)

In last nite's Sex and the City finale, Samantha of all characters was sporting a pair of UGGs while at home. Ugh!!! Someone at UGG's marketing department should get a raise what with all their celeb placements lately. (I myself wear a perfectly fashionable fuzzy leopard-print bootie with a satin bow when I'm lounging at home!)

Here along the southern California shore, Uggs are worn by surfers. They get out of the cold water and slip them on to warm up. We bought a pair for our son, who, as a member of his high school surf team, surfed at dawn all year long. Those Uggs served a very good purpose for him. As a gal raised in land locked Illinois, I am still impressed that my son lettered in surf in high school!

Ever I since I saw Britney Spears wear them, it spoiled it for me; I liked them before...

Jessica Simpson was wearing them on the episode of Newlyweds that aired last night. They were pink and looked adorable. Of course this was showing her while at home visiting her family and hanging out around the house.

They sure aren't new. I bought some for my son to wear on his boat about five years ago. He lived on the boat at that time.

(hi, weed!)

heya ded!

Glad I am not the only one who thinks they are...UGH! Sheilajoyce, that IS impressive!

I was shopping in Nordstrom's yesterday and saw a lady wearing Uggs. SHe looked ridiculous. First of all the weather was unusually warm -- you could have walked around in sandals. Second, she was short and had sort of heavy legs. ANd she was much too old to be wearing these things as a fashion statement, plus the rest of her outfit was kind of dowdy looking.

I remembered this post. Just had to add this. They are cute on the right person and in the right situation but they look ridiculous elsewhere, and the mall in suburban Philadelphia is not one of those places.

LOL Ded! I think that is what is called a Fashion Victim.

OK, as I sit here in my Uggs--which I love BTW--I have to laugh. They aren't dainty or flattering but I got them for Christmas year before last and I can't get out of them! I wear heels and biz attire for work, so maybe my Uggs are a rebellion against that. Otherwise, I'm very fashion forward, honest, at least for an old gal.
They serve a purpose--comfort!!

Ugg-Lee.

I think they are fine for house shoes or ski lodges, but they are just dowdy for street wear. If you're in a cold climate, I guess it is different. They remind me of Eskimos, but I like Eskimos better. Also, they seem to me to be a sort of "white T" fashion statement, and by that I mean you won't see other ethnicities wearing them. I never liked the grunge look either.

Weed meant REAL Uggs, not fake ones from China.

Topaspam.

Well I like UGGS because where I live it gets quite cold in the winter and they really keep my feet warm.

You know,that is what they are meant for in the first place.They are lined with genuine sheepskin that is known for it's properties to maintain body tempreture.How it turned into a fad,I'm not sure.
But for someone who has abnormally cold feet,they really help me a lot.

and I'd rather be seen in UGGS anyday over those hidious CROCS.They have GOT TO BE THE WORST TREND EVER! Talk about a grandma shoe.

pg, I have to agree; I would wear Uggs but not Crocs, a personal aversion of mine. I saw less croc wearers this summer, the trend is leaving perhaps.

It is November and quite cold here already and still people are wearing them...with socks that dont match.

Don't care for the Ugg boots on real women. I do, however, love the Ugg driving moc. Great shoe, warm enough so as to slip on without socks and run an errand. Wear on the street, in the house, not to work.

Ugg boots are for tweens/teens/late teens whose parents spend too much money on them. They are not for middle-aged, older women.

I like them but feel they have gotten too popular, it is about time they were replaced with something else.

I got my first pair when I lived at a beach town, bought them at a surf shop (most surfer's ski in the winter) and back then, you only saw them on surfers/skiers. Now EVERYONE wears them. I have bought a few pairs, mostly I wear them around the house but I wear them out too. I think they look cute, but they have gotten way too visible. Getting boring.

Well, I'm a middle-aged and getting older woman and I love my Uggs - gasp!! LOL I slip them on to take the dog out for her walks and it makes me smile to wiggle my tootsies in the cozy warm wool. Personally, I don't really give a hoot what my "play" shoes look like - I just want them to be comfy and, in the winter, toasty! I love my crocs, too.....

"They are not for middle-aged, older women."

I have succombed and bought a short pair in black, my feet were hurting a lot that day, I have bunions, etc... as soon as I tried them on, I was hooked, it's like having your foot encased in marchmallows, the feeling is amazing.

Uggs are going stronger than ever, now I know why.

WAAA! I have a very high instep and can't get my foot into a pair of Uggs....and winter is coming....again!
And if they are not for middle aged women, then they certainly are not for senior citizens....but WHAT are people of a certain age supposed to wear in the snow and ice??
Linda C

Linda, uggs are not for snow and ice, they are totally untreated. I sprayed mine with 4 coats of silicone spray, but won't wear them in rain or snow.
Have a look at La Canadienne boots at Zappos, those are very popular here in Quebec, and they have the wide widths, I just ordered a pair.

As a middle aged woman, I adapt the younger styles to my own style, and try to not look matronly, it's not always easy but one can always try, lol.....

I think there is a happy middle ground between "mutton dressed as lamb" and my "grandmother owns those." I probably wouldn't wear Uggs. I'm short and a bit chubby and they wouldn't be flattering. Mitch doesn't have these restrictions! Lucky Mitch! For winter I tend to wear a low boot with a bit of heel or un-clunky clogs with socks but I live in California.

I think they are BUTT UGLY. I have some Eddie Bauer shearling slippers that I wear inside, but I find those Ugg boots attractive on no one.

Sorry "Uggboots", but every pair you have on your website is uglier than the last. And spam isn't allowed or wanted here; the OP asked for opinions, not your website addy.

I know that Weed posted her question years ago, but since it was brought up again, I'll put in my 2¢.

I'm pretty sure the reason folks wear these, in spite of how they look, is comfort.

Our teenaged neighbor boy has autism, and as is often the case, has a heightened awareness of anything chafing or binding in the least.

Regular shoes, sandals, and even socks have always bothered him to the point he usually ran barefoot (outside of school).

Uggs are so soft and fluffy inside that he actually finds them comfortable. I'm happy that he is finally wearing something to protect his feet as he walks around the neighborhood.

Ugg as in Ugly!!!

I love my Uggs

I think they are cute on my lanky, long legged teen daughter and her similarly built friends. They are not attractive on short girls with heavy legs (or their moms). Not everyone can wear every trend and look great, if that is the goal. If the goal is comfort, appearance be damned, then go for it. ;)

Petaloid, the situation with your neighbor is understandable; he is not wearing them for fashion which was the original question. Hell, I would wear a bunny suit everyday if it were helping my health!

But as for people wearing them for fashion, I am all about comfort and have a closet full of cute, comfy shoes but the Uggs are something I would never wear. They are so unattractive to me. I do have a pair of Eddie Bauer shearling slippers that are like ankle height Uggs that I love and wear around the house, but would never wear them out to dinner. I have seen Ugg's website, there is not a pair on there that I would buy!

Uggs were not developed and sold originally for fashion. They were sold to help surfers fresh from the cold ocean warm their feet at the beach. They were not meant for all day wear. They are not meant to be worn where they will get wet on the outside, such as in rain or snow. But once the surfers were wearing them to warm up and were lazy enough to keep them on as they went about town, then the wannabes took note and copied them and they became popular and even fashionable among some circles.

Interesting facts, sheilajoyce; what amazes me about the uggs I bought and wore a lot this fall, is that my feet stay dry and warm, not wet like some boot interiors do, it must be the shearling fur that does that.

I never thought I'd wear Uggs in my lifetime and at 56 years old, but being able to do all my errands on foot, without any foot pain or pinching of my bunions, got me hooked.
I wear black tights so there is no contrast between my black Uggs and my legs, it helps camouflage them somewhat, lol...........

I think they're pretty lame myself but if it makes others happy so be it. Anyway not my reason for posting but another result on google had a link for free uggs offer. A friend of mine signed up and she told me she has a tracking number from them so I guess they're legit! Bah, just check it out for yourself.

Let us know when she gets her gift; they seem legit but I am always sceptical !

the main problem with Uggs is that everyone is wearing them. They are beginning to look like part of a school uniform.

the comfort level is going to make them last, if not as a fashion item, then as a staple.

I think they look great, they are really warm as well. They don't go with everything but are great for going to class.

I think they look cute with jeans tucked into them.

UGG boots are perfect for winter..I think so..
They're very comfortable to wear and looks good when you pair it with mini skirts..But not because as I said it's best for the winter season, it can be worn too at any time. It depends on how you accessorize yourself. I prefer UGG boots too than Crocs. I don't like it. I don't like to see myself wearing crocs while everybody around is wearing it too. It's seems like most of the people are liking it.

I think Uggs are amazing.. for the winter that is. When you see people wearing them in the summer, however, that should not be allowed! Uggs are meant for keeping your feet warm!

Some great things to pair them with though can be seen at the link I posted below. Check it out!
