I don’t understand Uggs. They make your feet look huge, and give you some serious cankles. I get that they are warm and stuff, yadda yadda whatever, but they are practically slippers– and ridiculously expensive slippers at that. Slippers that should by no means be worn outside of the privacy and comfort of your own home. These boots serve a fairly obvious, utilitarian purpose: to keep feet warm and snuggly in the cold (Ugg boots were actually created by an Australian surfer who didn’t like to get chilly feet between waves. Dude.) The problem came when people began to wear them all the time, everywhere, summer included.

Honestly, sometimes I think that people buy Uggs just for the brand name, and because everybody else is wearing them. Seriously, it’s not by chance that the name “Ugg” is so similar to the word “ugly”.

Wearing Uggs is the equivalent of wearing sponges on your feet. If those furry babies get wet, they stink from here to Kingdom Come, and possibly farther. Nobody wants to walk around smelling like a wet lamb.

It absolutely kills me when I see people wearing Uggs with mini skirts. Somebody obviously a) does not know how to read a calender, or b) is going through a climatic judgement crisis . Oh, and don’t let me forget the leggings. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all seen those girls who walk around with leggings for pants, all tucked into their folded-down boots. Where’s the mystery in that? Get it together, girls. You’re leaving nothing for the imagination.

It’s your call. You can either wear those kangaroo shoes- or whatever animal they are made of- and have paws for feet, or wear normal shoes like the rest of the world.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely nothing against Ugg boots or the people who wear them. If you love them with a passion, then shout it to the world, and wear them with pride. Hallelujah, more power to ya. I think they are flat-out ridiculous.
