Shoes are used for mobility. They should be comfortable, affordable, and in some cases attractive to the eye. When I say attractive to the eye, I don’t mean a boot that resembles a horse hoof. What I’m referencing this to are Ugg boots. Girls use them to tuck into sweat pants, skinny jeans, or even your average bootcut jean. None of the above is appealing. Yes a bunch of suede and cotton stuffed into leather would be comfortable, if you want your foot to look swollen and overtaking your own body. The best one I’ve most recently witnessed were these boots, with tights and shorts riding up someone’s butt. You might as well have traveled to Alaska, because I’m sure the weather isn’t cold enough in Hollywood, California for this ‘winter-wear’, and now people are turning it into everyday-every season wear. If you’re going to go sledding with a bunch of friends and want to have something water proof, thick, and maybe something to drag your feet up a hill, these are the shoes for you. For those of you who think that think this trend is“okay”…not for everyone. On top of everything else, these boots are HUNDREDS of dollars. Yes, some say you pay for quality when it comes to clothes, or shoes, but for really only something that you might want to bring on Survivor. I pay fifty dollars for some Vans slip-ons that last me years. To me that represents quality. These critters strutting around town are just buying the SAME STYLE of shoe in every color imaginable. “Oh my gosh this one has buttons on it?!” Crazy. “These ones come in the following; beige, chocolate brown, tan, black, and even cream”. Talk about originality, half my graduating class owned probably two of the same looking boots. As mentioned earlier these boots are made for EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS ONLY. Not “let’s pretend we didn’t get ready and wear these hundred dollar boots with a pair of sweat pants.” The goat man posted above has a point, these shoes are made for self defense. You could probably break someone’s Pituitary gland. Another thing I to point out, does anyone remember Birkenstocks? These Ugg boots has that same effect on high school girls as the Birkenstocks. Everyone HAD to have them, who cares that Kohl’s sells the SAME style of shoe for thirty bucks. It’s NOT a Birkenstock without the name, right? This trend has expanded into Uggs and into an epidemic, something that every person should be aware of. Once and a while sure, but don’t pull a Miley and wear them stepping out of a limo with knee socks. On top of that with tights that look like a raccoon tried to battle you while wearing these hitch hiker shoes. Ugh is correct, Uggs are wrong.
