Are these hideous?

eponymous, 16 June, 2009 at 20:58 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

It is possible that I may aquire a pair of these Ugg boots in this colour tonight. I won't be paying for them and they will be brand new but I can't get over the fact that I think they may be quite hideous.

http://www.uggaustralia.com/gb/ProductDetails.aspx?gID=w&categoryID=283&productID=5825&model=Classic+Short

I feel very ungrateful - I can't really go into it but the person who may be getting them for me won't be paying for them either (it's all above board) it's just that I had imagined something a little less luminous.

Am I a total ludite in fashion terms? Are they actually ok? Have you seen any? Are they better in real life?

Thanks.

    I like them and they're comfortable. I want the leopard print Uggs though so I'm probably not the best person to judge hideousness ?

    I'm not the biggest fan myself to be honest but they were free so when I was asked if I'd like some I said yes thinking that they would be ok for the winter. I'm just not sure that putting them on ebay wouldn't seem terribly ungrateful. I had imagined a nice tan colour or something.

    Though at least I'd be seen by cars in the dark I suppose.

    I don't like them for me, but maybe because I think that at 31 I'd be 15 years too old for them.

    Oooh, that's an idea. I could get rid of them donate them to my 14 year old cousin. I'm sure she'd be delighted.

    I like them. Would wear them with black skirt & opaque tights in the winter.

    Horrible. I think Uggs come in the "only to be worn by the truly beautiful" category, like geek glasses and too short asymmetrical fringes- they make a statement that says "look how ugly I can make myself and still be beautiful", which only really works if you're heart-stoppingly gorgeous. Those Uggs, which add an ugly colour to an ugly shape, really push the ugly envelope.

    ? at knownowt. I don't think they're any worse than other Uggs to be honest, well maybe slightly worse ?

    I just hate the way people walk over on the sides of Uggs, it annoys me far more than it really needs to.

    Hmm, I think all things considered I will give them to my cousin. She is a perfect age for them and will appreciate them a lot more than I will. Because of the way I'm getting them I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of selling them - it just doesn't seem right somehow.

    Sorry but I really don't like them. They look like something you might do the gardening in.

    Giving them away to your cousin sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't be comfortable selling something I got for free either.

    And I can't believe they are £149.99!!

    I think they're really nice and cheerful, don't give them away to your cousin! With jeans and a plain top, I think they'd really rock

    Oi are you calling my mate Eponymous Ugly? ? ?

    I actually think you should have no guilt in selling them. You could use the money for something fab for L.

    What Shiny said - I'd have no problem selling them. I think you should.

    You'd be able to get something nice that you actually like!

    I'm not sure I'd part with hard-earned cash on that colour if I had a choice but, as a freebie, I'd be more than happy to wear them.
