To think that Ugg boots are hidiously overpriced?

[poshsinglemum]

I do like Ugg boots. They look so warm and cosy and I like the fact that they are made of real sheepskin instead of fake stuff but £199! Really?

Are they worth it? Whenever I see someone wear them I think you spent £199 on a pair of boots not wow- you look lovely and cosy too. So ugg wearers- are they worth the money?

YANBU to think that Ugg boots are hideous.

Oh that's not waht you asked

As an Australian I am so very proud that Ugg has managed to export this look and charge what they do.

Uggs are for bogans and are completely feral.

Indoor/slipper wear only (maybe putting the bins out/getting the mail/buying the newspaper).

The marketing department has done an amazing job.

I love mine. I wear them all the time, with my leggings and my jeans so i have def got my money's worth.

If they were £9:99 they'd still be overpriced. They're hideous.

LOL Batteryhuman - well, they are called UGG for a reason (short for UGG-ly )

I agree. When I see people out with Uggs on, I think....hmmm... THAT wold get a different reaction back in Oz!!!

I can't spell hideous -sorry!

I love mine, they're on they're 5th year now so pretty good going. I hated them when they first came out, then the toastiness changed my mind.

BUT: I would never pay full high street prices though, I paid about £60 inc delivery for mine from NZ.

They are so common around here, I can't help a little snigger and wonder if every girl I see wearing them is named Shazza.

maybe you can polish a turd and sell ugg boots to stylistically challenged masses

Who dates Bazza, and goes for a shag on the back of a ute on the way to the barn dance...

..whilst shooting a few 'roos dressed in his wifebeater blue tank top and stubbie shorts with a pack of winnie blues hanging out hs shoulder strap...not to mention the thongs.. (cos Shazza is wearing the uggs)

Nah, surely a Trev? You know you are homesick when you start missing Holden Utes, in that delightful burnt orange colour they all seem to love.

Hmmm...judgemental?!

Lots of yummy mummies at my baby groups wear them.

Round here they mean-oh look how much money I have to spend on looking yummy (ish)!

MrsC2010 - Where's that website?

I don't mind spending £60 on warm feet. i don't mind the look and as I am not from oz I don't associate them with bogans.

Is a bogan a chav?

ANd he's got a few flanny shirts in the back to keep them warm later on hie they go possum hunting..

Oh god, people who keep their fags folded into the sleeve of their shirts!

Pozza, are these really the people you want to emulate?

I am a wanabee yummy mummy/bogan/chav!

Nah, not Trev, he's don the billabong having a brew with the sheila from down the local.

YANBU, I don't particularly like them, but TBH I can't tell the difference between the £200 Uggs Boots and £14.99 replicas. Defies the point of spending £200 really!

I love my ugg boots - for the comfort value, and warmth in winter. No idea what or whom a bogan is, but my name is not Shazza! haaha

PMSL I just saw "pozza"

I used to go to Panthers - Reactor 1!

And what was the one upstairs? Reflections? Good times...

The one I used back then was hartingtons.co.nz (I think? My memory isn't that great!), not sure if they're still around, shipping or whathaveyou.

For what its worth, I see so many people wearing Uggs from all walks of life I find it hard to figure out if I am actually concealing some chavvy traits or not! At the the hideously deprived school I teach at many of the kids wear the fake ones, but equally as a yachtie I see so many (normally authentic) pairs kicking around the marina on rather aristocratic feet I no longer know where I stand!

They are awfully toasty though, they make the long winter dog walks bearable.
