Are these nice or have I lost my mind?

[Umlellala]

See, I was searching ebay for knitted boots for my baby, and came across these which as you can see are for adults. Google research revealed them to be, as you can see, Ugg boots and therefore fashionable but v expensive (I would obv buy the ebay rip-offs... in grey)

Now, to me they look quite funky, warm, comfy, like that they are not black but would go with anything - skirts/dresses and trousers. Are they really, or have I lost it in the depths of newborn sleep deprivation, or about to buy granny boots? (wouldn't normally ask but really can't make my mind up...)

Uggs have grown on me.

I do like slippers though

[elsiepiddock]

They are ugly bugly.I saw a mum in playground wearing them today.

Mind you, I hate Uggs. Unless you're tall with skinny legs, they look monstrous.

[ladytophamhatt]

Why would anyone want to wear slippers outdoors?

thats what Ugg boots are...Outdoor slippers!

[anyfucker]

ohhh yes, kt, those are orgasmic

umlellala, I tried the mardy boots on in Office, you are right they do come up small, they seemed tight across the instep

I am a nawty girl, I try on in the shops then buy online on Ebay or Amazon

I got some Bronx biker boots from an Ebay shop this week. The exact boots as in Schuh retail shop, but £10 cheaper even with postage. Not a copy or ripoff, you just have to be pretty savvy about what you bid on.

[kt14]

was very anti ugg until I actually tried some on and was totally converted. Like wearing warm fluffy clouds on your feet.

[Umlellala]

Oh, they do look nice! (not an Ugg fan in general... didn't realise the knitted ones were Ugg until I did the research)

[kt14]

Wouldn't personally wear the cardy boots but how much do I want these?

Gorgeous. £159 even on ebay though. Yikes..

[Flamebat]

Nappies has the knitted ones - they don't have the ugg fluffiness all the way up.

I want k=biker books.

and the money to buy them

[Umlellala]

Ok, ok. I am not going to buy the boots (although the rebel in me...)

So, am on the hunt for biker type boots that look good with a skirt (can be more than £50 I guess as will try to find ebay rip-off version anyway)

Anyf, those Cat ones are the ones I had (don't worry, am a size 5 - though they do come up small). I loved them - so flattering, but heavy!

[moondog]

Oh
My
God

[Themasterandmargaritas]

Actually I kind of like them Umlella.

But then I did use to live in Dalston.

[Cocolepew]

These are much cheaper

[anyfucker]

errr, under fifty quid you are pushing it for cool and trendy boots

try ebay, these are ones I've got me beady eyes on, so only in size 6 but there are loads of em on there

[noddyholder]

they look like that 70s lamb chop glove puppet DON@T DO IT!

[Umlellala]

(Is now the time to admit I do wear legwarmers... albeit over shoes not boots...)

[schwotz]

Top tip, wear leg warmers over normal boots. Or at a push just wear socks over normal boots.

for some reason since i've had google chrome links won't work but some nice boots there..

[Umlellala]

Yes, I think you are right. Come on then, help me find some cool practical boots (had Caterpillar mardy ones in tan which I loved but they were too small after pregnancy).

Need to be under £50 though...

[anyfucker]

lol

I saw a yummy mummy wearing these the other day in the pissing rain. Her look of distaste and panic as she tried to keep her cardy uggs out of the muddy puddles was a picture .

I rather like em actually as they go with the rest of my look ie. laid back, dressed down, funky battered jeans etc but just too impractical for me and not enough completely dry days to justify the expense

get some biker boots instead

[angrypixie]

Bleugh

[bundle]

lost

your

mind

[MrsMattie]

Good old Ridley Rd market! I miss it!@Umlellala.

There used to be a stall down there that sold great rip off shoes. I got my son's Crocs there

[squeaver]

Oh yes Mrs M, they're EVERYWHERE round here at the mo.

Also popular with school run mummies who only need to worry about contact with liquid on the short hop and skip from the 4x4 to the school gate.
