Love em' they are so, so comfortable, so ugly and so not fashionable.
but i love em' and i'll wear them thru out winter!
Imagine:"imagine" an ugg boots , covered in small silver/diamond studs, with the Ugg logo at the back!
Omg!
I would get that immediately.
Nobody has addressed my question of "aren't they hot??? don't they make your feet sweat?
Yes, my feet do sweat in them. It's kinda annoying, as it caused the fur inside to flatten down. It's no longer fluffy on my feet when I put them on. I bought the UGG care kit, which includes a "sheepskin freshener" that supposedly keeps them fresh if you spray in the boot after each wear. I've done that the past few times I've worn them but I don't know how much good it does. Still keeps my feet warm, though.

I've noticed the trend of the Ugg boot has really taken off. Especially the no name brand style that looks like the Ugg........ I've asked for a pair of authentic Uggs, hopefully, Santa will deliver.
I've given this more thought lately and have concluded that Uggs are the generation Ys Vans/ generation X's Doc Martens. Seems like back in the day people did not make such a big deal about "youth trend" shoes; if you wore them, fine, if not, that was your choice. Vans have come back again in the last few years but are actually, like Uggs, a surf culture trend. Uggs are everywhere are most likely will be for years to come. I have my fake ones on now, really want to upgrade. When they go away, as they eventually will, that will be fine too.
VANS!!

Reason: had to add the Uggs link
Nobody has addressed my question of "aren't they hot???
Yes, and that's the entire idea. I've battled severe anemia most of my life, and a byproduct of that is that I am ALWAYS freezing cold unless I take precautionary measures to not be. I wear this type of boot BECAUSE I want my feet to stay toasty warm...as long as my head, hands, and feet are toasty, I'm warm. If not, I'm freezing all over. I don't have a big problem with sweating, overall.
I didn't like 'em either for a very long time. I still think they're hideous, but I recently moved to a state that actually gets seasons, and one of them is very cold winter. I'd see Ugg boots, or something similar to them everywhere, literally, EVERYWHERE. It was like everyone and their mother had at least two pairs. Anyway, a week ago I caved and bought myself a pair. No, I didn't get the actual Ugg boots
I'm seeing them on everyone here, too. I thought I was too old for them, being in my 40's, but women my age are also wearing them. Either Uggs, or other warm-looking boots. Last week I finally caved in and bought these from LLBean, and I can't wait to get them! They are taller than the typical Uggs, but can be folded down, although I doubt I will do that. We just got a foot of snow, so I can really use them now.
