I hate ugg boots.
And I typically don't throw a word like 'hate' around, but baby, these shoes take the cake. Now I've heard the argument that people wear them because they are genuinely comfortable, but lets face it, that's bull. Of course they're comfortable. So are the winter jackets my mom used to buy me that made me look like the Michelin man, but this doesn't mean that I wear it around town.
Ok, what I'm saying is this: before they graced the feet of supermodels, they were those shoes that you would find for 5 dollars on the sale rack at JC Penny's. This is what made it ironic when they showed up on the runway. But oddly enough, no one was walking around with them before they hit the big time. I doubt you would hear twentysomethings extolling the comfort factor of the ugg boot if Heidi Klum didn't own a pair. Really, the fashion world proved once again that they can slap anything on a sexy body and we will clamor for it like mice to the feeder bar. So don't go around pretending that the shoes are comfortable and this was the sole (get it) criteria that resulted in their purchase. If comfort was the only factor, then you would have headed back to that 5 dollar rack at Penny's rather than charge 200 bucks to your visa. I promise you, whatever Penny's has, it will be damn comfortable and even more ugly than those boots.
