To feel a tad smug when I am wearing my fake uggs

and I walk past a big group of girls all in real uggs stare at my boots and smurk that 'your wearing ugg style boots that arnt real' smurk..... But then I have had 3 pairs of these and I have still spent less than a 3rd of what 1 pair of real uggs would have cost me.

yabu

they are not staring, they don't care

nor does anyone else

people will however snurk slightly when the back wears in and you're walking on your ankle

and I will look disdainfully if they are from sweat shops (though I'm sure someone as smug as you is not crass enough to buy from sweat shop labour)

There from new look ... £16
Oh and the girls where I live really really care they have a little giggle when they walk behind you and see that your boots don't say ugg.

even worse than the real ones

YABU

All uggs look shite whether they're real or fake

tinkerbellesmuse · 12/11/2009 17:25

I always imagine the lining in the fake ones must be horrid scratchy nylon-y faux sheepskin that would make your feet stew.

Bleughh

They're not laughing at your fake uggs

they're laughing at you and the fact you've tucked your skirt into your tights

If you not gonna buy the real thing than YABU

Rollmops · 12/11/2009 17:36

Kerrist... Uggs.... WHY ....[beats head against wall in utter disgust]

moonmother · 12/11/2009 17:42

Not as smug as I feel walking in my REAL Uggs or REAL Emus knowing that BOTH of them have cost me less than people pay for one pair of real Ugg's.

Teenage girls actually cannot see women past the age of 23yrs old. Unlikely that they are laughing at you.

However, well done for saving money.

Marioandluigi · 12/11/2009 17:44

Uggs are almost as bad as crocs.

YABU to wear ugg boots of any description in public. I have just one word for you:

BOGAN!

Uggs are inside wear only, maybe for getting the mail/putting the bins out...

I have a snigger everytime I see a pair.
