I got a pair from my mum last Christmas and I'm a ugg worshipper now, they're so ruddy comfy I could sleep in them!
I just don't get why they are hated on MN?!

He wasn't really talented though ....grunge was not meant to be talented that was the point

Oh for goodness sake, you lot and your "converse is better than ugg" "ugg is better than crock" etc. etc.

If your kids turn round to you demanding this and that label clothing or footware, then it really is your fault!

I like crocks - haven't got a pair myself but use my DP's he's only 2 sizes bigger than me, I tried on a fake pair once and they were shit!

Converse - blimey, they've been around a long time but still look good am not personally bothered about owning a pair.

Uggs - they do look good, with tight trousers/leggings/treggings or whatever. Not good for wet weather though.

Wellies - uncomfortable, look shit, unflattering; they are however cheap and water-proof and kind of non-classist iykwim, all types of people wear wellies be they posh, poor or just very young.

Oi you can say what you like about the fugglys but leave Kurt alone.

What can I buy that is neither fugg nor converse. I have worn out two pairs of vans and a pair of superdry shoes over the summer. I need a nice flat shoe for the winter.

please save me from the uggs.

Mniemmniem · 10/09/2010 23:40

Haha you've already said that ton.

Running out of origanols already....
Just like kurt!

'he wasn't really talented'

I suppose that really is totally down to individual opinion. I consider Kurt Cobain to have been extremely talented. Other people may consider Eddie Vedder to be supremely talented (I would disagree)

Eddie Vedder hasn't inspired countless future musicians though. [shrugs]

What are FLy boots?

Have no Uggs but love the thought of them as slippers for our cold old barn in the winter. Why buy a carpet when you can carpet your toes?

Mniemmniem · 10/09/2010 23:43

Deftones Blush

Why would you care anyway?

UnseenAcademicalMum · 10/09/2010 23:51

All my students wear Uggs. Makes me feel old Sad.

Then again, I remember wearing converse the first time around.

Now I just stick to my trusty Docs (I bought them as a student, they are still going strong - in fact they are older than most of my first years).

eidsvold · 10/09/2010 23:53

Uggs are ugly - can you imagine what is festering in amongst the sheep skin from your feet!!

Staple of flannelette shirt wearing bogans.

never wear them outdoors.

But I am an aussie from the home of uggs.

OMG and she had ugg things on. Briliant. I especially like his jeans and the way he pulls them up so tightly. Boak.

arf, Mniemmniem!

I saw Deftones a few years back when they came to London. Some idiot had turned the reverb up so high as to make it unbearable, even for a fan like me.

The MN brigade dont like them because they have chav undertones.

They hide behind the "uggs are ugly" excuse. Yet they wear crocs and shop at Boden.

I personally have no view on Uggs. I think they look nice on some and odd on others. I don't own a pair myself but I do have a pair of suede boots I use for driving.

They are the only flat shoes I own. Apart from my flip flops. I spend my life in gorgeous heels (despite the looks of jealousy horror received from the frumpier mums (who probably disapprove of both Uggs and heels....)
