Since they are sheepskin, they are just great for Fall and Spring up north, as well as Winter, but I'm guessing waaaaay too hot for anywhere warm like Sarasota or even St. Augustine. Right? Wrong?
You could wear them in January for a week or so....

Default People watch -

A visit to SFL will quickly reveal that common sense and fashion have absolutely no correlation. Spend a while at Dadeland, Dolphin Mall (South Beach and Coconut Grove have more tourist so they are dressed quite more appropriatel) Aventura and Uggs in FL will be the least of the stunning visions you encounter!

Speaking as someone who was in line at the airport security screening behind a girl wearing Uggs I can most certainly say very stinky indeed.

Shopping this winter I saw girls in shorts and flip-flops in line next to girls in Ugg-looking boots and layers of clothes and a winter jacket and scarf. You really can wear anything you want. I spent much of this winter being cold since everyone told me to get rid of my winter clothes before moving to Florida. Big mistake. I should have kept most of my winter clothes.

Plenty of people wear Ugg's and other boots. I don't think most people are going to be running around in Uggs during July but during the winter they were everywhere! I own a pair myself and wore them alot this year. They are extremely comfortable and kept my feet warm! I also have a few pairs of other boots that I wear over my jeans (that style is very 'in' right now). It is your personal preference though, if it's cold enough out, wear them, you won't be the only one!

I have two pairs and just put them away - and my feet are not stinky - I think that is more to do with person than their shoes. They were a godsend - had them for christmas and thought I'd get about 4 weeks out of them, I got 12 and a bit!

Uggs are the ugliest shoes i have ever seen, and to call them a fashion statement is in my opinion sad.

Total turn off.

I don't care how ugly they are, I am glad I brought mine from Colorado.
I used them quite a bit over the winter, especially on those freezing mornings.

I saw them on a lot of people over the winter. Now that it's warmed up, not so much.

Isn't saying people in Florida don't wear Uggs kind of like saying people in Wyoming don't wear shorts??
