I am suffering in an early morning shock of vanity. I rarely go on tirades about these sorts of useless, shallow atrocities, but I am trying to exorcise my hatred for those Ugg Boots. Before I worked on a college campus I never really noticed them. I live in an urban setting where these pampered sophomoric adults who typify the Ugg Boots donned population dare not roameth, unless they’re too drunk to realize where they are. Even then, Ugg Boots rarely make an appearance, luckily, without a safe radius of my home.
I’m willing to make a compromise with the Ugg Boots Wearers. Please, for the sake of a very mildly stylish lady, do not wear those damned fur boats with sweat pants. This trend is like a zombie factory. Everyday it gets grimmer, everyday the style of sloppy sweats tucked into the tops of bunchy Ugg Boots grows more dominate, and I get grumpier.
So, you’re all wearing these psychotically ugly clodhoppers because they’re comfortable? I know there are better options, even considering the Merino Wool lined on the insides of this apocalyptically terrifying shoe make. Just try harder, try not following Jessica Simpson, also. She really does not know what she’s doing.
Why Even Try?
The first person that I ever saw wearing Uggs was that girl Brandeis in our personal essay class. She was terrifying and blonde and wore them with sweatpants. You must remember her.
Sadly, Elaina is right. These stupid shoes have existed since 1999. Actually, if you want to get technical and begin discussing the legalities of these poorly misformed sheep shoes, this style was first popular with surfers. Before “dudes,” though, it was an ancient rural design popular round the high-altitude world. I am ashamed to see this style used so far out of context.
I think that the people who hate how Uggs look are the people who have no idea how comfortable they are. I consider myself in this. I HATED Uggs. I thought they were the ugliest things on the planet. Then I tried some of the expensive/branded Uggs, and MY GOD!!! I had no idea it was possible for feet to have such comfort. I now want some.
ok – just stumbled upon this, katie dear. yes, my name is emily & i own a pair of beat up UGGS. bought them when i was a stay-at-home-mom (AKA SAHM) – and blearily pulling these things onto my frigid feet before stumbling out the door to get diapers or baby tylenol after the 3rd sleepless night in a row was something that kept me sane on certain days. when you have to dress, shod & wipe the asses of multiple little beloved ones, easy adult footwear becomes a necessary luxury. and i also love to love to bend tradition by loving things others hate!! >;)
