    22 euros Pennys

    If you buy real ones you don't walk funny like that. It looks awful tbh.
    I have two pairs of real ones, black and chestnut. Pricey though... Got both in Fitzpatricks on Grafton St.

    They aren't that nice, even for skiing I'd say they aren't too practical, proly more looks than anythign else.. ah well.. :) they suit some ppl.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Those things are an abomination. Mostly worn by girls with fat arses while wearing dirty jeans that are wayyyy too tight for them.

    I can't imagine how they'd suit anyone. A girl would look as stylish by wearing wellingtons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,154 ✭✭✭beanyb


    I wear them because they're the most comfortable boots... ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭tinka


    I think they are hideous. I really dislike the whole 'trousers tucked into boots' look. And I can't imagine that they would be very good for skiing, wouldn't they get really wet?

    It is considered acceptable by most people I know to wear the new fashion wellies the rubber ones and the fabric ones


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Liz*


    thanks for all the help!
    and the advice about not being seen in public, that was...em, encouraging? ;)

    they're not for actually skiing, just for wearing in the hotel or whatever so the whole getting wet thing won't be a problem!

    woop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭marshmallow


    Yeah, as said above, I don't like the whole jeans tucked into boots. Or 'fat man pants' ie. Mannies, the baggy men's trousers tucked into boots..

    They are comfortable to wear but once they're worn in they are supposed to be quite sore to walk in because you can feel any stones/pebbles/etc underfoot..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Madge


    yeah, I must get a pair of them uggs, they look class, nice and furry :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    She asked where could she get them in town, she did not ask for your opinons on them ( most of you have already given in other threads ) .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,445 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    it's enevitable that a topic like this will deviate, it always does in the fashion forum.

    same goes for dubarry shoes, if i posted asking where can i get them i'd be slayed with omg they look terrible times 50.

    The OP asked for where to get uggs in town, and where is the cheapest. I don't see anywhere that they asked for people's opinions but still people feel the need to give them.:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Madge


    Its a chat forum ffs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    No, it's not a chat forum - go on irc if you want to chat. If people have an issue with a post, report it instead of complaining in the thread. (Click on the little triangular icon found on the bottom left of each post).

    Now, back on topic, folks!

    Look what you've made me do!I hope you're happy! :p

    On topic: Most shoe stores will carry uggs so have a look around, wouldn't have a clue where would be the cheapest though, maybe fitzpatricks.Either way, they'll definately be found on Grafton street, there's no doubt about that.

    i think it's cool when people give they're opinions on quality/sutability etc because that's helpful but when people give they're opinions on whether they like the item or think it looks good they sometimes forget that everyone has they're own opinions on whats cool and what looks good.

    i agree !! im actually looking for a pair as im going snowboarding at christmas, and didnt know what to wear apres snowboardin!!! think these will be perfect, ebay is your best bet, im viewing a few pairs at the moment, you'd get a really good pair for under €30
    if you go onto ebay.com you'll get the original Uggs from Oz, for pretty cheap too!!!!
    hapy shoppping, oh by the way, what colour uggs were u thinking of getting, i saw a fab dark pink colour, i hope i get to buy them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Liz*


    yeah, i'll check out ebay, thanks! i was just goin to get the beigey colour but i'll see what there is!
    happy shoppin to you too, and happy skiing/boarding to us at christmas!!!!:D

    Apres snowboarding you can wear snowboarding boots, one of the (many) advantages of snowboarding over skiing. If you're the sort to go home and shower and stuff before beer, and wanna get out of your board clobber, then you're better off with a pair of trail shoes or hiking boots - something with a bit of a tread on the sole, cos you're gonna be walking on ice and snow. you need something reasonably waterproof - i doubt uggs are that either.
