I wore sandals in the snow.

On that note, I saw a young lad last week wearing flip flops. I kid you not.

I am serious

Uggs are the most inoffensive things to get offended about. All the girls wear them and apparently they are really comfy. GOOD COMBINATION

15-01-2010 10:08PM

Hold on...how do guys wear these? Like girls,the jeans tucked into these boots?
I can imagine a guy wearing these only if he had no choice,like that guy above who humourously wearing them only with a dressing gown...and nothing else!

Queen-Mise · 15-01-2010 10:09PM

Ugg boots are a crime to the eyes. I don't care how comfy they are or how warm your feet are. There should be a law able to prosecute people who wear them, for crime against the eyes :rolleyes::rolleyes:

And men should get double the time for wearing them... Men who wear Ugg boots are officially wusses.

da__flash · 15-01-2010 10:11PM

tucking the tracksuit pants in to the socks are way worse then wearing ugg boots :pac:

phasers · 15-01-2010 10:12PM

Ugg boots make everybody's calves look terrible

But they're really comfy, I wear the Penneys knock offs as slippers

ColmDawson · 15-01-2010 10:14PM

My half-Dutch friend has mentioned that men in the Netherlands wear them.

Hmm.

starbelgrade · 15-01-2010 10:17PM

Eskimos wear them too.

starbelgrade · 15-01-2010 10:19PM

This is completely horrific...

Considering cold days in Ireland are usually wet days, I would imagine they just soak up everything and therefore negate any insulating properties.

15-01-2010 10:35PM

IT's impossible to ! :)justify these things for men...they're no sarongs

Thought Bubble · 15-01-2010 10:51PM

What, what, what? Is this 'trend' sweeping the nation, or has it only been spotted in selected areas?

When are those FUGLY looking dead squirrells gonna die a death??? Instead they're multipling like feckin' gremlins (the wetter it gets the more I see). And now, their crossing sexes!

Seriously, there must be some seriously minging girls feet out there (stick your feet in those squirrell / gremlin hybrid all day in the piss*y weather and say fungel infection!)

growler · 15-01-2010 11:09PM

spotted this today at work today, was about to say something derogatory, but didn't want to be sued for being anti-man-ugg or something, looks daft though

HashSlinging · 15-01-2010 11:11PM

Rubbers FTW

When I was in college there was a dude on my rugby team that used to where them when he was at home but not up in Dublin! He was from some really small town in the country and apparently all the lads did it and it wasn't unusual. Tbh it kinda fitted with his style and personality so much so that I actually wasn't that surprised when he mentioned it and this was about 4 years ago so really ahead of the pack! In the end he was able to get away with it by actually being a pretty damn good fullback

**Timbuk2** · 16-01-2010 12:17AM

The damn metrosexuals should be shot.

aDeener · 16-01-2010 01:51AM

only thing worse than uggs are crocs, **** me what a ridiculous thing to put on your feet :rolleyes:

muboop1 · 16-01-2010 01:56AM

Em, i was in Australia for a month about 3 years ago.
All the lads wore them, they were origionally developed as surf boots for lads or something I was told over there.

They were mainly guys and some girls over there until some female celebrities started wearing them and they took off over here as girls only??

All this was second hand info!

He was a back? No wonder he was used to wearing women's clothes.

I have no bother with it, my sister wears them around the house and the look comfortable. I wouldn't buy them for myself, because I'm happy with my Homer Simpson slippers, but honestly who gives a flying ****. They're pretty ubiquitous, and aren't a sign that the wearer is a scumbag. There's no street cred with them* it's just that the wearer likes comfy feet.

*Although reading the wiki page about one guy getting the Trademark for them in Europe and America, despite them being a generic term in the place where they originated makes me hate trademark law much more.

gurramok · 16-01-2010 02:29AM

Put a Guinness label or Terminator label or something 'manly' and i bet blokes wouldn't be scorned that much from the fashion police :P

It's like anything. They serve a purpose, but people have latched on to them for a different reason.

Apparently they're amazing to wear after surfing in cold water. That's what they're for. They dont' look especially nice, though I'd assume they're comfy.

Jev/N · 16-01-2010 05:27AM

Saw them in Schuh in the mens section before, thought they had been misplaced!

Hank_Jones · 16-01-2010 05:32AM

Everyone is quite conceited around here aren't they....

I'd imagine some of you get dressed in the dark.

You're all far too bothered by this, it's not as if people are forcing you to wear them.

Irish Guitarist · 16-01-2010 06:29AM

Almost every teenage male I see hanging around the town has their tracksuit tucked into their socks and their socks pulled up almost to their knees. I think that looks ten times worse than a pair of ugg boots.
Also I've seen photos of Jimi Hendrix wearing boots that were similar to ugg boots, therefore they can't be bad (although I wouldn't wear them myself).

Mc Love · 16-01-2010 07:27AM

I have seen them on kids (boys) must been aged around 7-10. Was the weirdest thing!

men wearing ugg boots WTF!
