Uggs - are they really that bad?

DancesWithWoolsEnPointe · 21/11/2012 12:14

After a class war broke out on another completely unrelated thread, it came up that UGGs are considered a serious no-no on MN. I must confess to owning two pairs (one black and one brown) and as a WFHM I wear them all winter provided it is dry. They are the comfiest, warmest shoes I've ever had. They are like slippers but for outside! I don't wear them on the outside of my trousers, this is a look I don't like, but inside a boot leg I consider them harmless.

Am I deluding myself and walking around in the winter version of crocs?

No my love, rugby. You wrongly assumed I meant football (fitba?)

And I was being childish to entertain myself.

Anyway back to more important matters like Wags and people's footwear choices.

I spotted an elderly man on the train wearing uggs. I don't think he wanted to look like posh spice. He may have done at home though, who knows?

Was it Ronnie Wood? He wears Uggs

squoosh · 24/11/2012 18:56

dammit.

He's halfway down that page, but so worth it.

LadyMaryChristmas · 24/11/2012 18:57

No. He was older. I haven't worn my boots since.

MandaHugNKiss · 24/11/2012 18:58

Be still my beating heart!

No, seriously. I'd rather it stopped beating... Grin

MandaHugNKiss · 24/11/2012 19:00

Incidently, I think it may be that the young uns are definitely moving away from Uggs... DD(will be 18 in march) has had several pairs. But this year she has mostly worn red patent DMs.

Which is a bonus for me, as they're cheaper. Wink

LadyMaryChristmas · 24/11/2012 19:03

I bought some DMs. They have some sort of warm fleece inside. I'd live in them if I could.

OrbisNonSufficit · 24/11/2012 19:08

Wow. Ronnie in the fair isle sweater AND fair isle scarf plus uggs is my favourite look. Such elan Grin...

squoosh · 24/11/2012 19:11

I love seeing teenage girls in DMs, they have a nice feisty, tomboy vibe to them. The red patent ones are lovely.

LadyMaryChristmas · 24/11/2012 19:13

I'm not a teenage girl, I'm 35! Grin

squoosh · 24/11/2012 19:14

Well and 35 year olds too!!! Grin

dexter73 · 24/11/2012 19:14

He is such a babe!

I hate both Uggs and Crocs. Ugly ugly ugly!

MandaHugNKiss · 24/11/2012 19:31

The thread has totally changed tack, piedwagtail It's now the We

dexter73 · 24/11/2012 19:32

I'm about 20 years too old for him!

squoosh · 24/11/2012 19:47

He looks like he's been put in a fruit dehydrating machine. If he drank 20,000 litres of water his wrinkles might puff out a bit.

scottishmummy · 24/11/2012 19:55

Ronnie woods eugh god he's ugly and an ole poon hound

OrbisNonSufficit · 24/11/2012 20:00

You have to admit his cheekbones have stood the test of time though. Holding up all of that saggy skin is no small task.

LaCiccolina · 24/11/2012 20:16

Have you read the responses by some of them, particularly the cliquey ones??? Some of them are very weird about the oddest things.

I'm team ugg, classics, cardi and this Xmas leather biker boots. I cannot wait to see Santa this year!!!!!!

squoosh · 24/11/2012 20:17

Will Santa be wearing Uggs too?
