To UGG® or Not to UGG®?

I was at a conference yesterday where an editor of a cool-hunting website — noted numerous times that Uggs were OVER and that she was ashamed her publication had endorsed the fad when they were hot. I have to say though, I'm not over my UGG®s. To me there's nothing nicer on a frosty day then to slip barefoot into luscious sheepskin. I know I'm not alone….the UGG®s Buying Guide is one of the most visited pages on the SheFinds site. Our friends over at UGG® Corporate tell us that the new Dunwich, Rainier and Locarno styles are moving fast. Last year's new styles — like the Uptown — sold-out before Christmas. Pro: They sure are comfortable and the new styles are not so Uggish Con: They sure are ugly (at least the traditional Uggs are) and fashion mavens say they're out (and have been for many seasons) UGG Australia - Dunwich (BLACK)UGG Australia - Rainier (CLASSIC TAUPE/NATURAL) UGG Australia - Locarno (BLACK) What do you think — UGG®s — get 'em, toss 'em?

    I think uggs are great at home! As you said they are sooo comfortable. I just dont really see them working on the street, living room yes! :D

    Sorry, as a die-hard Australian, I can tell you Uggs are not “Out” and never will be, because they were never “In”. Uggs have been around for years, created originally for Aussie Surfers on cold winter mornings heading down to the beach. And we know they are Ugly – that’s where they got their name “Uggs” from. Try telling an Aussie that Uggs are “Out” just because some foreign “fashion” “expert” said so and a couple of knicker-less starlets dont wear them anymore

    I’ve seen the same predictions every year, but hhere are just too many women like me who love the feel of sheepskin boots and how easily they go with just about anything casual. Looks to me like Uggs are here to stay.
