they are warm, and i wear my knock-offs (i don't understand why girls pay so much for the second ugliest shoe ever, the first of course being crocs) on really cold days. i don't understand when people wear them year-round and with shorts and mini skirts. its almost as bad as people that wear flipflops year-round.
cale, what is there to like about them? i mean really, i want to understand.
but eddie, isn't that just impractical? i mean don't you wonder why she's not wearing any clothes but she's got on her winter boots? aren't there better boots she could be wearing? i think so.
cale, the only person i know who has light blue uggs is my best friends mom. she is 55 and has eight children.
i think moon boots are hilarious.
do you like girls in skating shoes too? like emerica? because i'm okay with those sorts of big shoes, sometimes, not all girls can pull it off.
like i said, amanda, most girls can't pull it off. and it has nothing to do with practicality. and no, i don't wonder why - i just appreciate it. good day.
the second one from the bottom is of the girl in that awful skirt. i suppose that does count as clothing, and she is wearing a hoodie, so maybe that's keeping her upper body warm.
As the Captain Crunch (old as dirt and harmful to the roof of your mouth - yet oh so irresistible and tasty) of the contributors, I will put forth the endorsement of Cale's Uggs love (and photoshopping skillz.)
I was just driving to get my allergy shots and I saw a cute little Korean gal wearing pink Uggs walking down the sidewalk. She looked tastier than... um... Boo Berry.
these boots are terrible. even during inclement weather - no matter what the color. just because it is cold outside doesn't mean you have to lose all sense of style. come on. there are other - very attractive and still warm - options out there.
furthermore, if you actually own a pair (real or fake) you can't actually question cale with any authority....
look, I have no problem with the ladies wearing these things in the winter, you know, to keep their feet warm...but that short skirt and Uggs in warm weather look just really makes me feel like somebody pissed in my Cheerios.
victoryrose: they're horrible in inclement weather because their suede and getting them wet ruins them, or at least makes your fee suffer, thus making them impractical in inclement weather. that's when you wear the other horrible boots, rainboots.
i'll have to disagree with your last bit though. i spend a good part of my life walking/biking outside and virginia/dc may not get a lot of snow but it gets fucking cold. i would do horribly up north. i typically bring extra shoes that aren't horrible to wear while i am at my destination.
and they should never be worn by anyone with a real job, out of college or over twenty-three.
As the Quisp (goofy looking and annoying) of the contributors I find it necessary to point out that Uggs were only intended to keep your feet warm from the cold sand etc... in the early morning and later evening. They are for surfers to wear when they arrive at the beach before dawn and then after they get out of the water and dry off 11teen hours later. This was how they were made "cool" and the first place I saw them was my brother in California in the early 80s with all his surfer buddies. I think in Australia it goes back to the surfing heights of the 60s. Any other use is sort of disingenuous and they are definitely not made or intended for any sort of weather other than a light breeze.
As the Trix Rabbit (I am pretty damn white and don't get started on my ears) of the contributors I would like to declare that I am so glad that I didn't write anything today so that it could get eaten up by the fashionado today.
Also - I am now too preoccupied with the Joe Jonas/Taylor Swift break-up brewhaha to worry about Uggs.
victoryrose: it's never necessary, it's merely a matter of practicality and what's accessible. people wear plenty of horrible things, though they may not think so. and some people look horrible in perfectly nice things. though i'm not saying that uggs or knock offs ever look good. but they're probably cheaper (at least the knockoffs are) than a nicer pair.
Grape nuts. Remember how when we were kids business women would wear white socks and hideous sneakers and then put their pumps on when they got to the office? I feel that uggs are the white sock/hideous sneaker of our generation. I rock my uggs proudly during my hour long metro commute and walk to work and even on my lunch breaks sometimes. It feels nice to know that there is one person in this city who won't be hating on me and his name is cale.coco puffs.
my roommate and i were discussing the sneaker/sock issue last night too, uggs are a step-up from that, i guess. but anything is better than athletic socks and fila/sketchers. sketchers are worse even than uggs.
of course...any scantilly clad gal can heighten distraction, even from the not-so-flattering boxy loaves of bread adorned on their feet. although i hold no preference when it comes to compromising aesthetics for comfort, i am pretty darn firm in this case to...JUST SAY NO. uggs gives the appearance that your ass starts 3 inches below your knees. no thank you to that.
Appearances can often deceive. That said, the sight of uggs can be bewildering indeed. Why? What for? WTF? Porque?... And the whole world, the whole life seems an unintelligible, aimless jest.
First of all, you waterproof the suede if the uggs are worn in snow using a spray. Second of all, when it is negative 30 degrees in Wisconsin, I don't give a damn about fashion, I'm trying to walk through the snow, not slip on the ice, and not get frostbite, I do keep nice shoes at work to change into when I get there though.
the rest of BYT editorial staff does NOT condone this article.
that's all.
How dare you photoshop kylie like that
Uggs are proof that there is no god.
Nah, the bible makes a pretty strong case for that already.
PS. this post is not meant to be ironic. i really do love them.
last pic = retarded
group uggs. no. no. no. no. no. no. no.
THIS LIKE ISN'T EVEN FUNNY.
this post would have been better served with the subject "Let's Ugg It Out, Bitches!"
"bitches" as in generalized term for all people, not "bitches" in the same way lil wayne means it.
WHY!??!
they are warm, and i wear my knock-offs (i don't understand why girls pay so much for the second ugliest shoe ever, the first of course being crocs) on really cold days. i don't understand when people wear them year-round and with shorts and mini skirts. its almost as bad as people that wear flipflops year-round.
cale, what is there to like about them? i mean really, i want to understand.
i'll tell you what there is to like about them. look at the second pic up from the bottom. h a w t
some girls can pull it off. most can't.
I think they're super cute and sexy. Especially the pink and blue ones. I love the moon boot look, always have. Big shoes on girls is so rad.
but eddie, isn't that just impractical? i mean don't you wonder why she's not wearing any clothes but she's got on her winter boots? aren't there better boots she could be wearing? i think so.
cale, the only person i know who has light blue uggs is my best friends mom. she is 55 and has eight children.

like i said, amanda, most girls can't pull it off. and it has nothing to do with practicality. and no, i don't wonder why - i just appreciate it. good day.
and you may need counting lessons. i said second up from the bottom.
the second one from the bottom is of the girl in that awful skirt. i suppose that does count as clothing, and she is wearing a hoodie, so maybe that's keeping her upper body warm.
oh well.
what about man uggs...
for the best in man uggs, youtube the Yes dance
uncensored
you'll thank me later
work. beats. fierce. sound.

HAWT!
And I will come in and negate Mr. Foster's yea, with a nay of my own.
They're fucking stupid and ugly and dumb and I hate you if you wear them. I wouldn't even consider putting my penis anywhere near you even.
michael is with the department of redundancy department.
I suppose we can all agree that they're named appropriately, right? I mean, that's what I think when I see 'em.
No further comments should be allowed on this post unless they contain a cereal reference (period)

Um, fashion over function people. Since when do hipsters wear weather appropriate clothing?
So when you find me holding a knife over you in your sleep tonight Cale don't be alarmed
never

i don't think it is EVER necessary to wear "horrible boots". ever. ever. ever. (meaning in ANY kind of weather and no matter how old you are.)
i will repeat what i said above: there are really awesome cold weather/rainy weather/snowing weather boots out there. and, they aren't uggs.
i live in new york. i walk everywhere, every day. it gets really cold here. i do keep my feet warm (and dry), and i don't wear uggs. period.
p.s. i <3 cale and his ugg lovin' self.

i <3 john foster too. just for being him.
I like big shoes on women too. I don't know what it is.

cale needs a pair of uggs. light blue ones.

DOWN WITH THE UGG!
lizzie furr: that's what i was talking about.

hang your head in shame, cale.
of course...any scantilly clad gal can heighten distraction, even from the not-so-flattering boxy loaves of bread adorned on their feet. although i hold no preference when it comes to compromising aesthetics for comfort, i am pretty darn firm in this case to...JUST SAY NO. uggs gives the appearance that your ass starts 3 inches below your knees. no thank you to that.

An acquaintance of mine from Canada has a similar opinion. She also owns a pair of galoshes.
I LOVE UGGS soo much! Mine were 150$! mine are pretty much ruined cause they got all muddy
