Ummm, no, they are not "Fugs"

I bought a pair of comfy sheepskin winter boots at Costco to wear on cold days, and I had them on yesterday.  One of my students goes "Are those Uggs???"  I said "No, I'm not 18."  She goes "Oh, then they're Fugs, you know, fake Uggs!?!"  I said "Actually, I bought them at Costco to wear in the winter, not to wear with skirts and shorts all year round.  They are not supposed to look like Uggs.  They are practical." 

UGH.  I hate Uggs, and now I look like I'm trying to wear them???  Sorry if you like them.  I actually don't mind people wearing them in the winter, which is what they are for, but I tend to think of Ugg people as the ones who wear them with cute little outfits all year round.  I do not do that.  Vent over.

    Agreed, I think they look silly in the summer but I learned that Uggs are actually meant to wear after surfing in Australia. That was their original purpose. I guess the sheepskin is meant to be cool in summer and warm in winter. Who would have thought.

    Hmmm...I guess you learn something new every day!  I wonder if all the teeny boppers are aware of their intended purpose.  Wink

    LOL, H bought me a pair last year and I was always hesitant about wearing them b/c I always pictured a 16 yo girl with a mini skirt and uggs on. Now i love them in the winter. I don't tuck my jeans in them or anything--i wear them for comfort not style!

    I have a pair too, and how in the hell is the sheepskin suppose to keep you cool in the summer after a surfing adventure. Yikes. I can only wear them in the winter, because they get TOO warm!?

    Note: I do not wear them with skirts. Jeans only, and it has to be a jean with a little wider leg so they can go over the whole boot. ?

    Yeah my students wear them year round with short skirts and shorts.

    I hate them, they look stupid on everyone.

    Ummmm, YES, they are.  LOL  I know exactly which shoes you're talking about.

    If you hate them so much why did you buy a pair?  You are cracking me up.

    And yes, they are not meant *just* for the winter, since Australia doesn't really get much of a winter.  Nice try though.  :-)

    Welcome to the dark side!

    I have 2 pair and really they are the most comfortable things I have EVER put on my feet. I do not care if they are ugly or cute or what- but they are worth every bit of the 120+ bucks I spent on each pair. I have had 1 pair for YEARS and got another pair for the switch from flip flops to Uggs with my swollen Preggers feet.
