Ugg boots yay or nay?

[Louise000000]

Quite fancied a pair of the tiny ankle uggs this winter, my 17 year old sister tells me they are so 2012!!😂
Opinions?
YABU : NAY, UGGS ARE AWFUL
YANBU: YAY, I LOVE MY UGGS AND THEY NEVER GO OUT OF FASHION

I love my uggs. Very warm & comfy, they’ve never folded over like the cheap ones do.
It never even crossed my mind that people might hate them and honestly I don’t really care if they do.
My feet, my shoes, my choice.
although I’ve never really cared what’s fashionable and what not

I haven't seen uggs for years, thought they had been and gone? Wear what you like!

It's been hideous furry flip flops round here for ages. Wtf was that all about

I'd say no... but only because I hate having hot feet

Wear what you want. I bought a cheap pair in the clearance shop to wear in school as slippers. I don’t think I’d wear them outside, but they’ll do for the purpose they were bought.

Depends on your taste, and whether your talking real ones or knock-off versions. I bought a pair of mid-length real ones in 2008 (in the US when it was $2 to the £1, happy times!) and wore them winter in and winter out for years, including in deep snow on ski trips. I still have kicking around somewhere for very cold and short trips out. The soles look like new, no wear at all, and so far as I know the real ones have a proper footbed in them, I never had any problems anyway.

ASFAIK It's largely the copy high street versions that wear down ridiculously and knacker your ankles.

Do you really know how these are made? Suggest you do some research

I bloody love UGG boots and will love them till the day I die. A definite yay from me!

I have a pair of £300 Celtic Sheepskin boots and I can’t wear them in public. They’re so ugly.

Or should I say ugg-ly

@Purglewurgle send them to me! I'll wear them for you

Comfiest things ever but yes, had their day.

I'll be really happy if they do come back around, though!

I sold mine about 5 years ago. Size 8 feet so not a good look.

You probably know this, but if you do get some, they shouldn't be worn with socks.

Enjoy your cosy feet!

Deckers, who make what used to be called "Ugg Australia" boots, do not support mulesing. Don't believe everything PETA tells you.

I have a pair of Celtic and Co sheepskin boots, 5 years old and in great condition, but I think this year I'll clean the soles and only wear them as indoor slippers.

I love mine, especially the pink sequin ones, although they are soon to be usurped by my new silver juicy couture moon boots.

I shan't be explaining myself to anybody who considers themeselves 'tasteful' either

I love mine!! Best things ever!

My mum gave me some she had bought but didn’t like about ten years ago, and I wore them as slippers until they fell apart. I then bought the Costco version after asking on here, which were about £30.

We live in an old granite property which is cold, so they are just perfect on chilly feet. I do have proper slip on slippers for going to the shower and so on, but the “Uggs” are great for going out to get the cat or with the bins. I would pop to the corner shop in them if I was desperate, but tgat would be it.

I have raynauds- a circulatory disorder which means my extremities get very cold indeed. I could not survive a Scottish winter without uggs!

I have UGG black sheep-wool lined ankle boots but they’re not the classic style. I’ll see if I can take a photo. I was actually coveting some long suede heeled boots on their website but they’re out of my budget.

I’m not sure why everyone seems convinced UGG only do one style of shoe and that’s the long chestnut flat sheepskin boot that was fashionable a decade ago. They do a wide variety of shoes and boots. It’s the equivalent of thinking that Burberry only makes a checked scarf

Also the collapsing/walking on side of feet thing are from the cheap Primark nylon version- this does not happen with genuine sheepskin uggs

You can get some actually decent looking and functional winter boots for much cheaper than those. My mate says only people who think having a bouncer as a boyfriend is desirable wear uggs.

Ha! My DH is a bouncer, I've just ordered my latest pair of UGGs. Your mate may be onto something

I have waterproof ankle ones - they are the best thing ever for standing on the side of a football pitch for 6 times a week. They aren’t attractive, they aren’t ‘cool’ but I learnt very quickly I’d rather be warm and dry than cool.

I have an off brand but v good quality pair of sheepskin boots from TK Maxx that I wear in the house and garden as house shoes / slippers basically but I rarely wear them out.

A couple of times I have worn them to the corner shop but I'm trying not to get too comfortable wearing them out and about as I do think they're scruffy.

Bought mine from Harvey Nic's in 2012. Very knowledgeable assistant. Told me they will not collapse like snides do. Mine are still in excellent condition and super warm.

I agree the really cheap ones such as Primark are awful. I got some once and they feel like cardboard compared to the ones I got from TK Maxx (Cloud 9 brand). They were about £30-40 and are good quality.

I have ugg flat ankle boots with the lining. These are ok in rain and give support and so snuggly

I have 2 leather pairs. So cosy.
