Ugg boots - yes or no?

I've been given some money for Christmas by DH who is far too crap to choose a present (frankly it's better this way...) We're in Germany which is bloody freezing and I'm kind of longing for some lovely sheepskin lined Ugg boots but don't know if they're a complete no no by now. Any views?

bloody love em and wore them all the time when i was preggers. Need a new pair as mine are knackered. But sinze being featured in Grazia cannot find some chocolate brown ones anywhere and i mean ANYWHERE in the country. Grrrrrr. Used to amuse me when I lived in oz and you would see girls with mini skirts in 100 degree heat with uggs on- silly and looked awful

Yes!
Timberlands NO!

UnquietDad · 21/12/2006 13:20

I know I'm a bloke and so I Know Nothing, and i don't have to wear them but only look at them, but I think they look bloody awful. Can't understand why people pay so much for a pair of furry wellies.

To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "that's not a boot - this is a boot!!"

I got the sundance uggs from ebay last year and they get many compliments They are great for work as I work in a Playgroup - like wearing my slippers

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 21/12/2006 13:38

in the 80s people used to point and laugh at me if I wore them out!

MamaG · 21/12/2006 14:08

Bugsy you are right about birkenstocks, hate those too ... BUT ... aren't you the MNer who liked the gold platform trainers

expatinscotland · 21/12/2006 14:10

I can imagine how that furry inside gets after a while. Probably pretty whiffy.

Yuk.

What's wrong w/just boots?

swiftybaby · 21/12/2006 14:14

oh but they are so cosy and comfy -normal boots dont cut it. Bloody hell its freezing out, could do with some today

Just to point out that I'm not one of those trendy young tnings who will wear them with a skirt or tucked into skinny jeans. I just want them to keep my feet warm under my normal jeans... that's all

Definatly yes to ugg boots. I ahve got a sand colour pair but want to know if anyone has seen any chocolate brown ones desperate for a pair. Only seen them in one shop and they had limited sizes in stock and mine had all sold out.

god i am such a fashion victim, infact i am so trendy it hurts

MerrilyTooBuzzi · 21/12/2006 17:40

As i am a size 7.5 do you think they would make my feet look like the sugar puff monster's feet?

MerrilyTooBuzzi · 21/12/2006 17:59

does the silence mean "yes" my feet are way too big to be fashionable?
ROFL {{and just manages to keep large feet up in the air while doing so}} god they weigh a ton!

santacutie · 21/12/2006 18:00

I'd say no

swiftybaby · 21/12/2006 18:02

7.5 isnt that big. My friend wears a size 9. Now she has MASSIVE feet

SnafuOutOfHiding · 21/12/2006 18:04

That'd be a 'no' from over here too. I have to admit I saw someone wearing them last night and thought they looked really clumsy and ugly (and so very 2004 )

Warm though, but so are thermal socks...

MerrilyTooBuzzi · 21/12/2006 18:07

So you dont think id looke like i had 2 floor mops on my feet
not like this then Sorry i am not taking this very seriously...i must go and do somthing else...

I am sure they look lovely on everyone that wants them.

Yes, Merrily. What boots to choose is a very serious subject and should be treated with due gravitas. None of this childish joking around...
