The Case Against UGG Boots

UGG boots could be coveted by many, but to me, they’re a sexy footwear wannabe, a glorified slipper endorsed by clever branding, wanted by girls that drop to get the sheepskin hype.

I’m an incredibly understanding person when it comes to all things different and quirky.  I talk about the importance of exploring our creative sides, have a liking and root for the underdog.  I mean, my favourite Disney film is The Fox and The Hound, I think that it’s fine to wear patent leather shoes with a patent leather handbag, and I love any story where the fantastic guy sticks his passions and makes it big in a world of greed.

So you’d think I’d be all about supporting cheap UGGs, protecting those”UGGS stand for’awful”’ jokes.  But nope.  I’m right there in line agreeing with this statement.  My heart goes eyes narrow in regards to UGGS.

My Case Against Brand Mutts, er, UGG Boots

They Are Brand Mutts (AKA: Trying too Hard to Be A Little of Everything)

Is that mold flowing over your UGG boots?
What can it be?  A boot?  A boot sporting a wig? An animal?

They remind me of insecure men and women who change their personalities based on the company they.  About the business of friends and family, it’s for individuals.  In UGGS’ situation, it’s probably their advertising businesses.  Trust me.  I worked on Madison Avenue in a different life.  Done the focus groups, participated in the”what exactly do they need” creative sessions.    The shifting demands (ahem”perceived” changing needs) of the market say ladies should measure out in”new and improved” UGGS.  And so UGGS with ankle-high ones, studded UGGS, wedges and ones were born.  You will find UGGS for brides, UGGS that glow and UGGS that look like cottage cheese is flowing within their upper half (muffin top UGGS).    They lost the essence of what it is that they started out trying to be everything to everybody.

Nasty gals wear UGG Boots

Nasty gal shoes: She wore those apple bottom jeans and those boots with the fur . . . ahem.

By this I suggest particular women who wear these boots and apple bottom jeans with the fur.    Bear in mind that the”apple bottom jeans” tune from a few years ago?  Inside, he sings about Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans] / Boots using the fur [Together with the fur] The entire club was lookin in her… Granted, he’s not specifically stating”UGGS” and I know that there are other boots that have the”fur” he’s likely referring to, but this is close enough.  Lots of UGGS possess furry qualities and I have seen some women wearing them that did not exude, well, let’s just say that they look or didn’t act like librarians that are church-going.  Call it a significance in my mind as a result of observations and this song don’t rank high in the elegance department.

They’re not Sexy 

Squishy and so NOT sexy.
Squishy so NOT sexy.

Sorry ladies.   Wearing UGGS doesn’t impart the exact same sexiness as a fall boot over denims or nation boots . They are squishy, mushy, outfit afterthoughts.  Settling to a beer koozie with bows, um is a way to destroy an otherwise pulled-together style.

They Need Lots of Cover-up to seem Better 

Sorry, the cute bows can't fool me.
Sorry, the adorable bows can not fool me.

You understand when you get a pimple and think covering this up with oodles of concealer will make the situation better (incorrect thing to do by the way, but I digress)?  It’s like UGGS can not just step out since they are, in confidence.  Nope.  On the waythey felt the necessity.  So many UGGS are bedazzled with bows and bling, sparkles and a spectrum of colors.  Accessorized UGGS.  Isn’t the attempt to cuten up UGGS an admission of the homeliness in the first place?  Either way, it just seems ridiculous to me.

Revenue which are Scarier than the Boots Themselves 

One part country, one part UGG, no part sexy.
One component country, 1 part UGG, no area sexy.

At more or $250 for a few UGGS, the actual deal is not exactly what the fashionista on a budget wants.  That is fine, when the earnings hit from a shop.  But unfortunately, many places that sell super cheap Uggs (believe outdoor flea markets which have aisles upon aisles of them) aren’t on the up and up in the market.  Seriously, there are a lot of bizarre trade and labour things happening (including items made out of harmful chemicals all in the title of mass creation and selling for under $10).  But the bottom line is such areas are encouraging a poor thing (ha, thugs selling UGGS) not to mention girls aren’t getting the real deal, regardless of what the box and labels state.  If you must have your princess-turned-lazy huntsman boot repair, be ok with shelling out or extra dough buy’em on sale from a location.

Cute and sexy, sans UGG boots.

So ladies, you do not dig, tell me UGGS in the remarks section below.  Or if you believe I am off base, allow me to know why you are wild about them.
