Do you think Ugg boots are still in fashion? and does anyone know the cheapest place to buy, (besides ebay). just found them for £40 in us but they dont ship to uk unfortunately !!

I would say 'no' to them being in fashion. But if you like them, then whether or not Sienna et al are wearing them this season shouldn't stop you from buying a pair. No idea about cheap stockists.

Don't know about being in fashion, I just know that in winter with the right outfit I like them. I have a pair and they are really comfy and cosy and I'll have them out again this year until I get bored of them.
If you like them go for it. 40quid for boots sounds good to me, they're cheaper than mine were last year.

The UGG Boots originated in Newquay Cornwall but was bought out by a NZ company. The original UGG owner lives next door to my In laws. So to get the original - try the Original celtic company - will try to get you the website. I have a pair. At 70 quid - not cheap but very comfy. And they last years.
DH has been wearing them since 12 - way before Sienna and co.

Isn't the new fashion to wear no shoes - now there is madness!

there you go
Ive been buying the uggs from here for over 10 years....they are excellent and by far my favourite boots.

GeraldGiraffe · 16/09/2005 22:44

No, no no no no

unless you have legs like twigs

expatinscotland · 16/09/2005 22:45

They are fUGGly

SleepySuzy · 16/09/2005 22:49

pmsl!!!

JoolsToo · 16/09/2005 22:50

aren't they very last year?

lucy5 · 16/09/2005 22:51

i love them but it never really gets cold enough here to wear them, although you do see some of the fashionistas wearing them but I dont quite fit that catergory!

MrsSpoon · 16/09/2005 22:53

Would love a pair but my DH wouldn't be seen dead out with me wearing them ... hmmm, actually maybe that's a reason to get a pair???

jayzmummy · 16/09/2005 22:57

I dont give two hoots about what the latest "trends" are.

Ive been wearing Uggs ever since I moved to the SW 10+ years ago. They keep my toes warm on a cold winters day whilst I am walking the dog on the beach.

Sorry Mrs spoon but just keep imagining mrs spoon off button moon in ugg boots! PMSL

Spoo · 17/09/2005 11:20

UGG boots are comfy and they keep your feet warm and I love em.

MrsSpoon · 17/09/2005 12:32

LOL cinderelly, perhaps it wasn't the best nickname to choose to convince anyone I'm the least bit stylish!

Nbg · 17/09/2005 12:35

I got some last year, not Uggs but exactly the same.

I'll definatley be wearing them this year, they are soooo warm and comfy.

mugface · 19/09/2005 14:00

i got some rocket dog boots that are a bit similar. Very warm and cosy and i will be wearing them again.

don't think they are in. last month they had size 7/8 ones for £30 quid ish in TK Maxx

codswallop · 28/09/2007 16:32

TheBlonde · 28/09/2007 17:58

So are they useless in rain?

PeckaRolloverAgain · 28/09/2007 18:02

They wreck in the rain!

Mine from last year are knackered and I WILL be purchasing again this year.

However it is very cold here just now and if it gets much worse I would consider them as they look cosy.

cocolepew · 28/09/2007 18:06

Thanks Cod. I think, Theblonde, that if you spray them with protector they'll be ok.

TheBlonde · 28/09/2007 19:12

hmm it gets pretty wet here so not convinced they are a good plan for me

where can you find them in RL so you can try on for size?

cocolepew · 28/09/2007 19:15

Where do you live that's so rainy? Friend said that on ebay they say to buy a size smaller than usual. Some sites tell you to measure your foot from heel to toe and then they tell you what size.
