Lovelyish

I have uggs, that were £5 from Primark. And they are just fine.

I got my fake uggs at JCpenneys a year or two ago, I think for under $20 ’cause they were on sale. I don’t see the point in buying real ones! Most of my ‘name brand’ stuff is fakes also, like my ‘Coach’ purse (its a good fake too) that I bought in China for 15 US =] 

Ew

buying real uggs is different though, from buying your cheap knock offs.

for teens today, it’s the brand name that speaks loud. buying the other brands make them look as if they can’t afford as much as the next girl. that’s why even though i’m fully aware of similair looking much cheaper boots, i stick with my classic uggs because the brand name is really important and i’m sure it’s important for many other girls out there.

My Uggs have never had any problems. My mom always gets them for cheap, anyways, so it’s never a big deal. I’ve never had any leakage problems or anything, either, and I always wear them when it rains too ! ahaha I guess maybe I’m just lucky

I looooove Bearpaws though ! I don’t like fake ones because they LOOK obvious and very cheap. Not attractive.

UgG’s are UGLY ugly UGLY<<<<just like the way i typed is ugly….all ugly. ugh

eh, i’d buy knock-off knitted boots but the sheepskin ugg alternatives look a bit cheap.

my mom got me uggs to wear in the snow… what a joke! they’re not meant to be worn in icy conditions and they definitely leak. and they are not comfortable either.

i buy uggs. not fake.

I got my ugg boots (not UGG branded) @ the central market in Australia~ It still costed me 130 dollars. but they lasted me a good 5 yrs.  I also owned a pair of trendier cheap ugg boot lookalike but they wore out in about less than a year

(I mean the inside) and felt nowhere near as comfee and soft.  I don’t like uggs so much for their looks more for their “feel” and “comfortability” which I find the cheaper ones just don’t have..compared to the real wool

common sense could tell you that the knitted ones would leak when worn in wet weather……liiiike, come on. Thats why I havent bought a pair because even though they are super cute I would only be able to wear them when the weather outside is dry..no snow. no rain.

the other UGG’s are resistant against the elements. LOVE my UGG’s. for me there is no subsitute. they are worth the money.

i don’t own uggs and i am never buying a pair. i recently bought a pair of minnetonka (sp?) moccasins but that’s as far as i’ll go.

If I have an unexpected windfall, I will end up buying real uggs. Or just when I have enough money to.
I have had 4 or maybe 5 pairs of fake ones (bought some new black ones today actually), and they’ve all lasted long enough (at least for me. I have awful feet that ruin shoes very easily).

Meanwhile, let me just say to the snotty “i would never wear fake ugg” types, we don’t all have enough money to throw £140 of it on a pair of shoes we could get for way cheaper.

I hate uggs. Brand name or not.  I don’t see the obsession. They have had far too much time in the spotlight. They’re are far better more trendier boots. Not to mention all the “fashionable” boots on their website look butch. And seriously could they consider not killing so many fucking animals. Sheepskin and leather in like every shoe?

Im not a fan of uggs

The knock off doesn’t look and last as long as uggs 

how about don’t pay for real or fake uggs, period?

how about if your gunna wear them get the real ones ? 

i’m not a label snob or anything but there completely worth it and plus, there not meant to be worn in the rain like that. 

its okay to buy the knitted knock offs. but the original sheep skin? uh no. they always cave on in everyone. i spent years buying all the different cheaper ugg knock offs. yeah sure they were warm and comfy and whatever, but those shoes never lasted me more than the winter. i love my uggs <3333 they’re the worlds best shoe. ive got 2 pairs, and im going to buy a third. they’re completely worth my cash.

i don’t like/wear uggs but something about knockoffs bug me.

Um, yeah I can’t do fake uggs, or fake anything…
If I have the money, I am gonna get it, if I don’t have the money, oh well, but no way am I gonna buy the ‘knock-off’…

$armin<3

Knockoffs rule!
Same thing without the brand name. I’m not paying an extra hundred dollars for a name on my things

I have a pair, not sure how much they were though, they’re definitely not authentic, I didn’t even know there was an authentic Ugg brand.

Still ugly.

uggs are very ugly, but i still can’t turn away from how everyone says they’re warm and comfortable
>>
i might want to try~

@FallingSafely@xanga -  Thank you!  I agree!  

@Manstration@xanga - amen to that. uggs are shit.

Between my mom, my sister, and I, we have probably 15 pairs of these, in every color imaginable. None of them are Ugg brand. As far as I’m concerned, Ugg boots were a status item 5 years ago and are no longer something to brag about unless you’re tacky and still stuck in the Paris Hilton “heiress/princess” fad of 2004. I wear boots of that style because they’re warm, versatile, easy to slide on in a rush, and extremely comfortable. I know there are tons of people who hate them, but there are a lot of people who still like the look, and I don’t think they’re ugly. I think as long as you’re not wearing them in an attempt to look trendy or to show off your so-called “expensive” taste, it’s fine. And Old Navy has a pair of the knitted boots, which I love and plan on buying as soon as I can find my size (no such luck thus far). I think it’s harder to call them knockoffs because knitted boots have been done by other brands besides Ugg. The original boot, maybe, but it’s not like Ugg has always had the monopoly on that style of boot. I actually think I saw Emu (another Australian brand) start selling that style before I’d ever heard of Ugg. I don’t know for sure which came first, but I think it’s silly that people assume people are trying to replicate Ugg brand with those boots. I wear them because I like them, plain and simple. The name means very little to me; I am definitely not trying to knock off any brand (and I am an admitted label whore).

Now, my Ugg mittens on the other hand…so extremely expensive, but so worth it. They are the warmest things I’ve ever had; I was outside for my job a lot last year, and those mittens got me through the winter comfortably. I do have to say that they’re not something I probably would have purchased for myself, but my mother-in-law got them for me and I’m glad she did. They really are amazing!

Don’t pay for any uggs….seriously they’re as ugly as crocs are. 

@taylorrrxx3@xanga - I agree! And even if you have money to buy real uggs, why waste $100 more when you can buy something that looks the same for $40?

I’m pro-knock off! lol. I think I’m gonna get some from Bakers.

Bearpaws are the best. I’ve had mine for like four years and I still love them.

I’ll buy a pair in the summer.  When I go surfing….that’s what they are best for.  But I’ll stick with the Walmart ones.

where did the boots that arent uggs or ugg knockoffs come from? they look really cute.

I probably wouldn’t buy uggs, but I’d certainly buy some knockoffs.

I wear fake ones.

THEY’RE NOT VERSATILE. they’re just freaking hideous.

WHAT?!?!  I have a pair of classic uggs and I’ve had them for four or five years now, and I’ve been wet up to my knees and guess what…my feet were still dry. I almost had a heart attack about a week ago when I got mud all over them and when I washed them off while still wearing the them, I felt a slight bit of moisture come through one of the seams of the left boot. I guess they are starting to lose their touch. I can’t believe there are so many bad reviews on them. I love them!

i call those Ugglies

@xoxokissme@xanga - Same as me, I don’t wear them because they are popular. I actually have a few people laugh at me because I wear them, but I just laugh when they start complaining that their feet are cold. And as far as the brand name Ugg goes, I could also care less, it’s just my mom that likes to get them for me. The outlet she always shops at only has the Ugg brand in that style boots, so that’s what I’ve always gotten. 

I have $200 Ugs and they NEVER leaked on me, always kept my feet warm and DRY regardless of the snow or rain. I think she just got a bad pair cause I never had a issue with mine

Uggs are so UGGly (haha aren’t I so punny? ) They remind me of cavemen.

Never owned a pair, probably never will.

I always buy mine from Target, they’re about $20

I think Uggs is a good investment. They’re REALLY comfy compared to fake Uggs that I tried on. My Uggs lasts for 4 years in a row and is still very worthy.

You can wear em without socks. They’re even comfier! (No I’m not gross. It’s avdised to be worn without socks on the tag).

I dislike uggs. a lot.

I don’t wear Uggs or ugg-flavored knockoffs. I just don’t like how they look.

Which boots did you buy at payless?

or you could just buy cute boots…

uggs kill sheeps ! ): even if they are warm& comfy!
ima go find them at walmart :]

well i have the real uggs b/c  i got them for 50 since im a size 4 =). yes having small feet benefits me a lot! i save soo much on shoes. 

i own a pair of walmart “uggs” because i needed warm boots and I’m not one to be like omg, my shoes have to be awesome, and their still in great condition, and i only paid 8 dollars for mine  

I still don’t like them. I’ll stick for something that doesn’t look like I turned a sheep inside out and then stuck my foot up it’s butt… (this isn’t meant to piss anyone off, so don’t try and start anything. it’s just what I personally think they look like. I’m a firm believer in “to each their own…” :] ) the knit ones aren’t as ugly, but i’m not a big fan of those either.

But I applaud your bargain hunting advice, knock offs are usually a pretty good idea :]

I actually have no idea what I’m going to wear this winter.  This is my first year in living in a cold place (The great Pacific Northwest – Washington state).  I’ve lived in FL until now (with a brief 6 month stint in CT from April to October).  I’ll go with the knockoffs all the way.  

I have a pair of emus.. they’re just as warm as uggs, they feel just as nice, they’re made of real sheepskin.. the only difference is it has a different label on the back. and they’re like 30 bucks cheaper.. it’s practically the same thing

The walmart ones seem like my speed, but I don’t really like the look of uggs anyway.

I would never pay more than $30 for a pair of shoes. I never have. I never will.

i’m a label snob- i’ll admit it, I am. I wont buy a fake anything. But aside from all that, uggs cost that much for the reason. Try the $12 walmart version and then try the real thing and u tell me what u think.

Oh gosh…enough with the uggs!

I wouldn’t buy real or fake, honestly.  They’re incredibly ugg-ly.  

Can we have the post on better alternatives now? Because like you said, they’ve been around for 5 years, we all have tried the knock off and the actual uggs, and it seems everyone’s pretty set in their ways on those shoes.

love uggs!
never will buy fake ones = =
unattractive and uncomfy
then wore out superfast =,=
and they’re not tat expensive

i’d buy more than 1 color of same styled uggs~

@kayla_fersherr@xanga - haha, same I got some for £5 today and my last pair of chestnut ones were £8. And they lasted ages

Okay…it’s kind of funny when some people are like “Eww, uggs are so ugly!” But…they buy a pair of boots from Walmart or Payless that look EXACTLY like them and are like “My boots are SO cute!” Seriously? If you cant afford them…you don’t have to be agaisnt them. Same for the people who are against the cheap ones…They all look the same! I myself have ugg boots, and a pair of boots that I bought from Target…and they both work wonders for me. =)

I’m sorry to say but, Real uggs are the way to go. knockoffs are exactly that- knockoffs. their not made the same way and end up lasting only half the time that real uggs do.

Even though I don’t prefer them as a whole since they kind of remind me of homeless footwear, the two pairs that I do own for Laundry and “a lazy day at school” purposes, are real and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - Yeah, that’s what you need to look for. Good sheepskin knockoff. That’s normally how I judge.

STOP WEARING UGGS
there are better ways to get through winter without making other people puke in their mouths.

Why would I buy a knock off of the ugliest shoe wear ever made? they arfe UGGly  both uggs and are knock-offs made to look like them are awful and not at all attractive and i my feet don’t even feel warm.  Im gonna stick to sneakers

@BrownWolf3@xanga - I HATE THAT! ugh so obnoxious!

I don’t wear uggs, they’re hideous and completely useless in my home town winter’s. In -40 degrees celsius weather, those pieces of shit don’t work.

I wouldn’t ever buy a pair, and I still don’t plan to buy a pair. Not the real ones, not the knock offs.I just think they’re damnnn ugly. I would never wear shoes like that. Plus, everyone has them, and I personally enjoy wearing shoes that noone else that I know has.

But it’s mostly just that they’re ugly. (:

@Vintagesque@xanga - you shouldn’t buy fake designer goods like handbags. More times than not they’re made by child slaves and can be used to smuggle drugs into the country. To read more look at Harper’a Bazaar’s campaign “Fakes Are Never in Fashion”

WHO GIVES A FUCK IF YOU HAVE REAL UGGS OR NOT? Honestly, if you are caring about shit like that…well, get a life!

Uggs ARE quality… and the knit ones are not made for wet weather… like wearing the most common Uggs around in the rain is going to ruin them! They are obviously not waterproof. I have Bear Paws, and I love them, but they aren’t as nice or quality as my Uggs are. Payless shoes are great when you need them for a little while, but they aren’t as nice.

I just got a pair from Charlotte Russe and I love them<3

@hannahrexia@xanga - I’m pretty sure my purse was not used to smuggle drugs in the country, seeing as I’m the one who carried it into the country…. the idea of child slaves is sad though, of course. But seeing as the purse is already bought, and my comment didn’t read that I was planning to buy more (I cant afford to go back to china!) there’s not much i can do about it at the moment. Any other ‘fake’ stuff I own is just legit  copycat brands so I doubt those fit in the same category.

Oh, I have a better idea. How about you don’t pay for any type of Uggs at all.

i have the bear paw ones from famous footwear, i love em

knock off’s are pathetic.

definitely are NOT water proof.. for some reason my uggs that i’ve only had for a year appear to be wet at the tips of the boot all the time but theyre dry 

Fake uggs at walmart 10$. PWN.

the walmart ones leak hardcore, but for a sunny day they are amazing

@taylorrrxx3@xanga - well said!

real uggs are extremely comfortable! i bought the knock off pair at first and then i bought authentic uggs and i never want to go back to the fake ones again

I wouldn’t be caught dead in anything resembling Uggs.

I got these leather boots from JCPenney for about $70.

I have the gray cardigan boots from Payless and they got me through months of constant rain and snow last year.  I love love love them, and they were so much cheaper and cuter than Uggs.

@kaylamae31@xanga - She got the gray boots on the right from Payless.  They’re from last season, so you probably couldn’t find them anymore except maybe on eBay.

I wear kids shoes and the quality difference between brands is so dramatic that it’s better to get the real thing if for no other reason than it costs less per month of wear.

I personally don’t like uggs but to all their own. But I don’t understand why I see girls walking around in them in snow? They’re not snows boats and I can obviously see they’re wet. If your going to pay that amount of money for them at least take care of them. It’s like wearing converses when it’s raining **facepalm**

i tried the charlotte russe ones last year. dont do it! they didn’t even last me through the season ( i wore them all the time, but come on, theyre shoes for god’s sake!). this year i bought tamarak brand from macy’s (about 40 or 50 dollars) and love them. 

the difference? the sole! charlotte russe’s had a soft, styrofoam-y sole which wore down so fast. the ones i have now have a rubber sole, which obviously will last considerably longer.
im all for the knock-offs, but just be careful!

i have never been into the “name brand”
if i can find a knock off for 200x cheaper
you had better believe that i will buy the knockoff.

i have had knock off phat farms, birkenstock,chuck taylors, calvin klein and the list goes on.

why pay more for the fucking label?
i can afford to look knock off good as a college kid right now.
it works for me.

The fake knit ones are hideous.
The originals are so much better.

ew times a million.

they are ugly anyway.

i got target ones (~30$) and the soles wore out in about one season (heels wore down until they could separate)

but i’ve seen authentic uggs that are pretty dead-looking too, i just don’t know how long it took for them to get in that condition

I love love love the way Uggs look, I have a pair in Greece, but I dont find them very comfortable. They’re very flat and are not suitable for using anywhere outside a mall, or on a flat walkway. They are definately not for the snow…

I work with Uggs so from someone that sells them.
THEY ARE GOOD QUALITY SHOES..
The knit Uggs are for look not for comfort, or for the snow something you wear to make your outfit cute, but if you want to go out and be able to shove your foot in the snow then the Classic are great for that. All of the knock-off “Uggs” are uncomfortable, at first look extremely box looking, eventually when you start to wear them they stretch out and look like they talking in the back because they get so floppy.
The wool does not compare to the real Uggs. Real Uggs have the best wool, I know people that even wear them without socks because they say there feet would get to hot. So would you rather pay, continuous money for “fUggs” (Fake Uggs) or one payment for the real thing and have around for awhile. I personally think the real Uggs are the best and wont go with fUggs..
