UGGH

To begin with, I'd like to say that there'll probably be more on the subject of the post below as I'm not perfectly happy with what I wrote. I don't think I made myself clear enough. I'd like to elaborate on the subject a bit more.

Right, a couple of days back on campus has reminded me of the horror that is UGG boots. I mean why?! Why would you ever want to wear a pair?

Firstly, the price is ridiculous (if you want an authentic pair, that is) uggsdirect.co.uk sells them from about £80 to over £200! TWOHUNDRED POUNDS! Most I've ever paid for shoes (well, to be honest daddy paid) was about £60 which I thought was a horrible amount of money to pay for shoes. However they did serve me well for 3-4 winters (they were suede winter boots) and they'd still be alright to use if I hadn't left them in our house for the summer and have our landlady's workmen destroy everything that was left there.

Secondly, they're so UNsexy. They're alright for the first maybe two weeks, but they lose their shape so quickly and make people look like they can't walk. And they seem to make the person wearing them actually forget how to walk. As if there was an unwritten rule that says if you wear UGGs it's ok for you not to lift your feet from the ground but rather just drag them along. WHY?! Just the sound of a person walking with UGGs is ANNOYING!

And thirdly, they ARE winter boots. They're meant to keep your feet warm when it's cold outside, not to keep your feet sweaty in July. Really, if you insist on wearing them, at least only do it when it's actually cold.

I think here would be a good time to make a confession. I did want a pair when they first came out. I thought they looked so comfy and warm and all (however I was going for the "fake" ones that only cost £10) but this was when I had just turned 16. I think we're allowed to make mistakes when we're young. I don't understand why people who are already in universities and are supposed to be intelligent and all still insist on wearing them. I'm very thankful for my mum not giving me the money to buy a pair but instead bought me the above mentioned boots.
