Ultra mini platform Uggs yes or no ?

I just really like them. I've been wanting some for absolutely ages but they've always been sold out and now finally I've found some stock in a few places

But now they're freely available does this mean they're now out of fashion?

Why does it matter if they’re now available / out of fashion? If you like them, get them! x

I know from my teens they were huge about a year ago on tik tok as my teen / tween girls were desperate for some for Xmas last year but I couldn't get them any for love nor money.

I'm not massively bothered about being on trend as such ...I just don't want to look tragic or dated. although tbh now I'm reading the first paragraph back do I really want to be wearing something that was big on tik tok I mean I'm in my 40s

They look horrendous

My goddaughter(17) is after some - she is petite and likes to add height. I got a barely used pair on eBay for £100

Brown ribbed leggings or high shine black leggings usually and yes super comfy but I do fine the tassman more comfortable x

I find Uggs in general a bit ugly! But it's personal preference!

I was answering the question!

No.

The look awful if they get at all damp and this platform style looks horrendous imo.

It's funny how things come back in fashion.

I remember when Frankensteins monster had them in black -

Ahh yes uglycore I believe is a thing. I guess it's a bit like brutalist architecture. I hope they bring you joy and keep your feet toasty ❤️

i have the normal ultra minis, the platform minis and i'm about to buys the platforms tazz's. i'm 33 and they're just so comfy and i love the added height. i wear them with most things to be honest (now its autumn). i like the platforms ones with some wide leg leather trousers i have :D

@smallshinybutton thank you 😍😍

They will defo be warm! I've had uggs before first time around and they're so cosy

I had the almost knee high ones in about 2003. I'd rock them with a tiny denim mini skirt or mini kilt and freezing cold corned beef bare legs 🤣 was early 20s

dollymixedup · 28/09/2023 15:46

I don't have any of the platform styles, but find all my uggs (boots trainers and sandals) so comfy - not good for walking long distances though.

I buy all mine on eBay - had some right bargains so it's definitely worth looking.

Cas112 · 28/09/2023 16:36

I love them.

liveforsummer · 28/09/2023 17:30

Popular hard to get stuff always becomes available after a while as the first rush to get them steadies and the manufacture catches up. Although you're taking advice from someone who has just ordered (yet another) pair of Bailey buttons. Now THEY are dated but if anyone judges I'll just feel sorry for them that their feet aren't as comfy and warm as mine 😆

VioletPickles · 09/11/2023 21:39

Sorry to resurrect the thread, but just wondered whether you’d recommend sizing up in these or not?

liveforsummer · 09/11/2023 21:41

I don't size up in uggs in fact if between sizes you can size down are they give over time
