Ugg Boots - Pretty or Puke?

Now don't get me wrong I LOVE ugg boots. I happen to own a pair of pink ones. I do how ever have a problem with girls my age wearing them to keep warm in winter... when they team them with a denim mini. I'm also opposed to the idea of "sexy uggs", the type that lace up and hug close to the leg. It seem to be a contradiction in terms.

On Saturday night I was at the Orange Show with my friends T and her friend J. All night all I could hear was the dragging of feet... not just any feet but feet wearing ugg boots. Now this had the effect to annoy me hugely as this was completely in appropriate for the show(The Orange Show is held at the show grounds which are mostly dirt). It got me thinking, who sells these horrible "hot" ugg boots?

In my local Williams the showmen store I was horrified to see a pair of "Tammy" ugg boots. I had been desperately hoping that the wearing of ugg boots out of doors would end this year. It occurred to me that these boots go against the very spirit of ugg boots.



Ugg boots were originally worn for the sole purpose of keeping a persons feet, ankles and legs warmer in winter. Why were they called "ugg boots"?, The name stems from the appearance of them, THEY ARE UGLY. amazingly comfortable, but not the most aesthetically appealing form of footwear.



Two years ago I purchased a pair of ugg boots to wear on my winter Holiday to the snow. They got wet, sweaty and stained, I kept the same boots for a further year before throwing them out. Why did I do that? I could have easily have gotten some new ones, I kept my old daggy ugg boots because they were still comfortable and still kept me warm. I wasn't wearing them outside so I had no need to worry about how grotty they were.



I really hope that none of my friends buy these new Tammy boots and asks me what I think (I'm not very good at being tactful). So if consulted on whether or not to purchase some ugg boots I will simply suggest a pair of fabulously daggy uggs.
