Uggs!?!?

Katniss everMean · 2008-09-05 01:46:44

I have never been a fan of uggs, I think its more so the D4 look and attitude that goes with most of the girls that wear them, but the other day I saw the most gorgeous pair of uggs on a girl in town. Snow white with white fur. Nicely fitted so you don't look like you have giant feet, she wore it with a really sweet mini…

Basically what I was wondering is what are peoples opinons on Uggs? Is it time for them to go out? Do you think they can be warn nicely if not with horrible tracksuit bottums and huge hoodie? Does you know where I can find snow white gorgous uggs, that are fitted and not giant foot like? >.>

Oh you've opened a can of worms there!

Maybe have a read of some previous threads -

Thread 1

Thread 2

Thread 3

Thread 4

Thread 5

That might help!

There's lots of threads on Uggs already, lots of people hate them, but I think it's the image associated with them that puts people off. I personally like them and have a pair and will be getting another pair when I go to the States, so I don't really care what anyone else thinks. I haven't seen the ones that you're talking about, I googled 'white Uggs' and found these, but I don't know if they're the ones your looking for. If so, you should be able to get them easy enough, there's loads on-line.

Nope not them lol.. I have searched the net and have yet to find them at all..
I agree some are VERY ugly, but I have seen a few (maybe two) pairs that are really nice. Totally agree about the type of person associated with them, but but but this pair was really pretty.

I once worked in a store where a mother wanted to buy €145 UGGS for a five year old. She told me that she bought a pair last year and the child hated them and wouldn't wear them but she would buy another pair this year and hope the kid would wear them.

Personally I don't like them at all but even fans have to admit that's just mental!

I bought my sister a pair for her 21st. They arn't a fashion statement to me, they are so damn comfortable.

I have a blakc pair of cowboy boots and a brown leather knee length boots. I normally wear a variety of skirts with dark tights. The uggs I think would be the next step for me because they look lovely with a pair of tights, a really nice skirt and a top/jumper.

They can look absoulutely fabulous on the right woman.

I dont like how the younger girls are wearing them, they all look like Diana from X-factor with the messy hair and untidy ponytails.

Well if they're made of sheepskin they're a genuine Ugg boot alright, but whether they're they "real" Ugg Australia brand, I don't know.
They are gorgeous though.

I'm sure I can speak on behalf for a lot of girls wearing them. They're the comfiest thing I've ever put on my feet and they keep my feet warmer than any other type of shoe or boot could in winter. I know most guys in particular hate them but we don't care, our toes are warm!

Wearing an old tattered bathrobe with no underwear is damn comfy when it's hot in the house and you just wake up, doesnt mean you go outside wearing it.

Well I do, but I'm special.

I think no. A few reasons, firstly in the FAQ, there's some horrendous English

13. How does a Customer Loyalty Discount Program work?

If your are a wholesale men want to get discount , pls send to my email shoppingugg@gmail.com Price accoding your order quantity.

Also note the gmail address, not very professional.

They also say this

3. Are your boots genuine uggs?

All our boots are genuine Australian uggs that have been made in Australia for decades from premium quality sheepskin.

Genuine Deckers Uggs are made in China, not Australia.

Finally, Uggs are hardly ever on sale. If you see something much cheaper, be ware!

Personal trainer its hard to say but i would think that they are fake.They are selling the 2 most popular items imo uggs and ghd's.On the About Us page they say they are not affiliated with Deckers or sell their products but when you read the item description it says :
By UGG® Australia; Imported.
