Don't all flame me, but are Ugg classic cardy boots a bit passe?

[moodlumthehoodlum]

Will I fall at the first hurdle of school gate style, if I get a pair in Oatmeal to see me through the next couple of terms?

Advice please before I shell out for something that I will be laughed at for.

I do really like them.

[lizandlulu]

i really like them too, go on treat yourself.

[Dozymare]

I thnk they are lovely......and shall be investing myself shortly

[moodlumthehoodlum]

I think so. I'm not particularly thin, though, so I might look a bit chunky in them, but I think I'll see if I can find a pair on the interweb.

Thanks

[SheikYerbouti]

Noooooooo

Don't do it!

[moodlumthehoodlum]

why what terrible fashion faux pas will I be making

[expatinscotland]

they are fugly

[moodlumthehoodlum]

surely not?

[Dozymare]

yes ugly, but oh so comfy.....who said "fashion" had to be pretty?!!!!

[moodlumthehoodlum]

What are my options though for throw on style on cold mornings then, boot wise?

[SheikYerbouti]

there are lots of other comfy shoes around

Uggs are yuksville, imho

[hf128219]

If you actually like them - get them!

[woodenchair]

can you stretch to winter soles? they look much better imo and last for ages. I'm about to do the 3rd winter in mine

[moodlumthehoodlum]

what are winter soles?

[Dozymare]

yes, what are winter soles??!! I like the fact UGGS are not stiff leather boots with zips that dig onto your legs!

[boogeek]

I am tempted too but a bit put off by the fact you only ever see them worn with skinny jeans. Am not a skinny jean person. Does anybody have any alternative suggestions?

[Fimbo]

Primark have got rip offs - with a sturdy sole for £6. £4 for the ankle ones.

I personally don't like them and people always end up walking in on them

[ladytophamhatt]

outdoor slippers.

[CourtneyLush]

Uggs are horrible, why would you want to walk round looking like you've forgotten to put the other half of your chewbacca fancy dress outfit on!!

[BloodySmartarseToTheRescue]

all you detractors, you have to put some ON and then youll know why people like em. they are a lush lazy sunday morning in bed with 99tog duvet and full english breakfast for feet. i shit you not, they are heaven to wear.
[orders a new pair as mine are 3 yrs old now and the sheepskin inners not as lush anymore]

[BloodySmartarseToTheRescue]

ok, so my question is; does anyone know where the cheapest place to get real uggs is? fakes a false economy imo/e...

[psychomum5]

I used to hate uggs, and TBH, I still won;t buy them.

BUT

DD1 has the fake ones from primark, and she is my size shoe how. I tried them one morning rushing to the docs (and was being too lazy to find my boots). OMG were they comfy.

I see the attraction now.....altho I will still only steal borrow hers

[KezzaG]

What about a pair of snowjoggers, apparently they are the new UGGS. Quite fancy a pair myself but I dont know if I have the legs for them, I might have a bit of an Oompah Loompah about me if I wear them.

I love my Uggs, and will not be parted from them in the winter. But I am a Scouser, so don't listen to me.

[tyaca]

oooh, the cardy boots are great. saving up as even online they're rarely under £100. aldo has almost identical ones for £60 btw inc in otameal. buy 'em! mch nicer and less ubiquitous than normal uggs
