I always though Uggs were ridiculous but

[StarlightMcKenzie]

now I've seen the price I KNOW they are ridiculous.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........

£150 to achieve this look??

No bleedin ta!

lol

Uggs don't achieve that look. Those are fake, cheap replicas probably costing about £10 from primark.

Every year someone starts a ugg bashing thread. These are not real uggs. Proper uggs dot do this.

Proper Uggs dont do that. I've had mine for 2 year and they don't do that

Apologies. Proper Uggs don't do that.

But whether knock offs or the real deal they still don't look stylish or even remotely nice.

A socially acceptable version of wearing your onesie on the school run. They're slippers. Ugly ugly ass slippers at that.

Nope, my Kiwis don't do that. They're almost three years old.

I do think Uggs are overpriced, but I love a good sheepskin boot and evangelise about Kiwis and Celts all the time. My Kiwi Ultimates were about £90 and worth every single penny

My Uggs are that style either. No fur to be seen

It depends on what you do with them. I've got the more weatherproof outdoor UGGs and I wear them all day everyday whilst working fom home from Septemeber to March. I do the school run in them and nip to the shops etc. They keep my feet warm and stop me feeling I need to put the heating on. I wear them 10 hours a day so I reckon they are pretty good value for me.

Wearing my duvet all day would probably stop my need for putting on the heating, or buying a coat even.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't look ridiculous. Imagine if I then told everyone the duvet I was 'sporting' cost £150?

Mine only cost £65. 2 years old and worn autumn til spring. Waterproof and I dont think they look ridiculous.

Now crocs, they are ridiculous

Uggs look awful and skinny BUT what is even worse is the ones (yes,genuine) I've seen this year that are absolutely plastered in gold sequins.Seriously,just WHY?

SLOBBY not skinny!

Uggs are ugh, and slippers. I really don't like them at all and have no desire to buy any, not even as slippers.

If I lived somewhere that snowed, I might consider it but I don't.

Crocs, OTOH, are excellent for DS1. I wouldn't wear them either if you paid me, but he loves his - perfect for the beach, going swimming, mucking around at the edge of the lake etc etc.

UGGs are brilliant. I have UGG boots and UGG gloves the hands and feet are the bits that get the coldest now they will be snuggle and warm

I've been considering these ones
Has anyone got them? I'd like a pair that will peform exactly as elastamum described above. They seem as if they would be easy to wear with skinnies or even under bootcuts, anyone agree/disagree?

I've never had ugg style before but dd has and they do seem comfy and warm

Ugly and expensive.
They look like something you have to wear after surgery on hammer toes (whatever those are)

i have these ones, £65 and best boots I've had

Leslie love the pic hahaha. Fancy some for in the house as slippers, feet are always freezing. And loved crocs this summer for my two yr old.

At 40+2, Crocs are the only shoes I can put on by myself

No real Uggs don't do that.

I resisted them for years but succumbed a few years ago and have worn little else on my feet between October and April since.

(small voice) I have four pairs, all different.

They are warm and snug when the rest of the world is freezing and icy.

I do know they are not stylish btw., That's not why I wear them.

I'm afraid I couldn't bring myself to wear Uggs outside, but they're fair game as slippers. However, I'm not mental or rich enough to pay those kind of prices for slippers, so have pretend-y £15 ones from M&S. But that's just me - I don't really care what anyone else wears on their feet.

Crocs are perfect for the children, mine have been wearing them for years. Unfortunately my DH also had a pair, although he's now consigned the worst pair to the back of the cupboard (and has a presentable pair that he bought in the US which are leather and don't look like Crocs).

I was looking at those too TheGirlfrom Ipanema, thought they looked a bit more stylish than the classic style and not a bad price for leather boots that will probably last a few years. I find nothing else keeps my feet as warm and toasty as sheepskin and I don't mind paying for it if they will last. The only thing I was unsure about was the way the back dips down with the strap going round, thought it looked a bit odd - Google pics of them and you'll see what I mean (and whether I am just being picky or not!)

DD2 had some £8 ugg type Boots from Primark, they did sterling service. I shan't be parting with £100 plus for the real thing anytime soon.

OP you will love the 'bling' version.....

I don't like them I always think women trudge about in them like slippers but each to their own.
