Skubbs Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I thought Uggs were for girls?Fluffy boots? Away, ye pansy!Weren't they originally meant for men? I'm sure I read something about how they started out in australia for surfer dudes to slip their cold feet into after being at the beach. Then the celebs started wearing them and they were seen as girly. I will admit, they look wierd as hell on men... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it seems that Ugg have started to produce more styles now. I have to admit, that those one which fall, crumpled on the heels of said screaming girls are about as naff today, as 'plates' where in the 70's.

Skubbs Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Eugh that is a pet hate of mine; little chavs wearing ugg-like boots from primark, and end up walking over the side of them. How can you not realise that you're walking half on, half off of the bloody sole??? And scuffing their feet, ARGH, my parents would have screamed at me if I'd scuffed my feet along the pavement.It's getting increasingly annoying the amount of times little chavs hang about union square and make trouble. They never buy anything, they just wander around. What the hell is the point?? The amount of times they sit down in the seating area at my work and I ask them to leave, and it's always either at the busiest time or when we're closed and cleaning up. I'm polite about it and explain there are benches upstairs and all I get is "ah fuck off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Ugg boots are absolutely grotesque. Honestly, they look as bad on wimmin as they do on men. A classic example of how hype and decent marketing can brainwash anyone. I mean, look at them! A pair of big furry minges on your cloppers? And that's meant to look stylish?If my wifeburd got a pair of mingeboots I'd boot her in the Ugg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The Mrs and I were wandering aroung the Northern Quarter of Manchester last weekend. After seeing a pair of the fucking monstrosities on every second pair of feet, I informed her that if she ever bought Ugg boots I'd probably have to jump off a tall building, maybe the silly big Hilton hotel for temporary geographical convenience.Happily, she agreed that Ugg boots are absolutely fucking horrid and she wouldn't be seen dead in a pair. Hurrah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britheguy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 okay okay, I give up before I sound like a Ugg salesperson. I'll just say my boots are not 'furry minges', nor are they scuffing half on half off my feet, which I agree are awful. As are those big, awful, clumpy platform boots with buckles and studs that the youth of today wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Evidence???The only times I was remotely trying to be fashionable were the early 70s (grandad vest, black velvet trousers, blue suede cuban-heeled boots), and the late 70s, when I gat a short haircut and got tight drainpipes etc. Otherwise I've never got a clue what the tabloids etc are telling us I should be wearing.I don't even know what Ugg boots are....although I assume they're furry from this thread.

Lemonade Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Surely Ugg boots get ruined when it's raining, and weigh about 2 stone more in the rain than they do in the dry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi Tech got a bad rep. I had some Hi Tech football boots and they were ace. I then got a pair of Puma Kings when I grew out of the old ones, and they were shit. Felt like they were made of concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Shoes are just shoes, I agree, unless they are ugg boots. Hideous things. I would describe them as "footwear with negative connotations." That's about as angry as I can get about footwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
