Default UGG Boots?!?

Is it just me or does anyone else find it difficult to understand this 'craze' ? I think they look bloody hiddeous! Am I getting old?

Ask missscoobygav...... very mixed divide on here between those who think they are comfy and fashionable and those who think "pikey-arsed-crap"

Same with most surfwear too.
Which is why I don't go near surf labels now.

I wouldn't have thought age has much to do with it as taste.

Also consider this:- they were fashionable for about 3 months a couple of years ago. They now occupy the same 'fashion space' as ponchos, burberry and other naff items.

They just remind of that scene in Dragnet where Chevy Chase and Tom Hanks are dressed up as PAGAN's with those stupid furry chaps on

Can't say I like them myself, but I bet they are very comfy. However, I wouldn't spend over £100 on any footwear, over £50 is at a push, so they won't be adorning my feet!

Deja-Vu?

I believe this thread topic previously caused some flying infractions by lovers of Uggs and Crocs.


Oh how Vain ...darling

I've got some that my brother sent me (he lives in Oz), but they're not 'named' UGGs. They're lovely and snuggly, but I would NEVER wear them outside in public!!

They're not PINK.... they're light purple

I wouldn't have thought they would have needed much dusting off DCI...
