Ugg Boots Need To Die

October 20, 2008     Posted in College

Alright ladies, we’ve got to talk. This Ugg boot thing is getting out of hand, and it needs to stop, now! These disgusting excuses for footwear are killing your sex appeal, style and any pretty much everything that is good and right in this world.

Before you know it, every college dude everywhere will have to take Viagra for the rest of his life just to get it up because of prolonged exposure to the damn things. And there’s nobody to blame but yourselves.

Ugg boots have been around for years, and have recently become a solid staple of the female college student’s outfit, across the country. The question that we as guys have is, why the hell do chicks continue to wear these horribly unflattering footwear?

From what I gather, they are extremely warm and girls insist that this is the only reason they’re wearing them – but that doesn’t mean they don’t look freakin’ stupid. And it also doesn’t explain why girls want to wear them in balmy weather. See, if you’re cold all the damn time, there’s probably something wrong with you and you should see a doctor, not a shoe store clerk…

The really sad thing is that we as a society have become immune to their appearance.  And because of that, every year the ladies of our college campuses seem to find new ways to make them more and more ridiculous looking.

What I can’t figure out is, do women wear them because they truly enjoy their comfort, or do they wear them as a fashion statement? A standard college chick outfit is not complete without tight yoga pants and maybe a wife beater, which are both hot. But then they go and tuck a perfectly good pair of pants into the ugliest boots we could imagine, insisting on showing them off!

Do they really think that they look good in them?  Do they think that they’re a walking sex symbol in their Ugg boots? Here’s a little hint, ladies, there’s a reason they’re called “Uggs” and it’s not because they make you look good. In fact, they’re so sucky, it makes a lot of dudes, myself included, angry, just to see them.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with women wanting to keep their feet warm, especially when it is actually cold.  What I can’t understand is the desire to show these eyesores off. Who cares if they’re warm? They make anyone wearing them look like a frumpy Eskimo with low self esteem. And for the life of me I cannot understand why girls in SoCal think it’s appropriate to wear snow boots – just let me know the next time a wicked blizzard crosses over The Valley and into the Hollywood Hills.

So ladies, please. Lay off the Ugg boots, throw on some cute sneakers and maybe a good pair of wool socks. And the next time your friend says you look good in a pair of Uggs, remember – she’s an idiot.

What do you think of Uggs?

    I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH JANE, I LIVE NEAR TORONTO and I know it gets cold up here!

    I know girls who wear it with style, and weather coordinated, but for those girls wearing short shorts w. it in the dead ass cold, wtf are you thinking? "well uh, lets think, its keep my feet warm and its real comfortable.. but my ass is freezing" good thinking girls. AND why are you spending 150+ on a pair of light colored boots when your gonna fuck it up in the snow? why do some girls keep there Uggs in the closest when its snowing? trying to keep it fresh for the summer?

    BTW girls, you gotta look up what Uggs are made of…

    Are you kidding me? Ugg Boots are the best. Ive had mine for almost 5 years. They are so comfy and keep my feet warm in the cold Sydney winters. I know this is an America sight, but Uggs to stay in Australia :)

  3. Duncan says:

    Hehe Sydney has winters?

    I'll have to be the second aussie to defend ugg boots. They rock, and you females are welcome to wear them any time of the year!

    And yes, Bababu, they're made of sheep… or at least they are here… No use wasting their fleece if somebody's going to eat them anyway!

  4. shannon. says:

    girls still where them because we don't give a shit what the fuck you think of us… okay?

  5. samir says:

    I didn't think straight guys cared so much about fashion…

  6. lexieeee says:

    okay, well, i'm from australia, and seriously, we all wear ugg boots.

    they're a staple clothing choice in winter.

    because it can get fucking freezing, but i think it really depends on the quality, style, colour, and the way you wear them.

    if you buy them, they stretch, so you get them smaller, so they don't get big, bulky and ugly.

    that's if you get the original, and real sheeps wool versions, and if you take care of them, they can look rather attractive.

    if you get fake, shitty ones, then you should die in a hole already. :)

    however, if you're from the very far south, or very far north of my state, you+ugg boots=trash.

    you look horrid in everything you wear actually if you're from those areas.

    to be completely honest, ugg boots aren't my favourite clothing item ever, nor are they my favourite shoes ever, however, i am willing to wear them because they're incredibly comfortable.

    oh, and guys, if you decide that a girl is seemingly less attractive just because you see hear wearing ugg boots, you seriously need some sort of therapy, it shouldn't matter what a girl wears, and if it does, you're just incredibly shallow :)

  7. Aussie Guy says:

    i wear ugg boots. they're fucking awesome, that's why.

  8. Comfygirl says:

    I wear Uggs too…they are functional, comfortable, and warm. They are here to stay, people. Plus, they ARE damn sexy if you ARE sexy. Ha!!

  9. Yllems says:

    It's cause girls are lazy when running to class, and these things are easy to slip on. If a girl is wearing these they probably have yet to shower and is wearing way too much of that fruit body spray to mask her stench.

    I agree, they are hideous and should be illegal to wear!

  10. Another says:

    So, i got to the bottom of this post, and as i was reading it i think the only thought that crossed my mind is 'wtf is wrong with half these people'.

    I agree uggs are the most ridiculous looking things ive ever seen but theres a simple way to not look like a complete a-hole and wear them… how bout you try putting ur pants OVER them. My god its so simple and so genious. Oh and to all the people who said something along the line 'if guys care what clothes you wear you're shallow'… just TRY to be a little less hypocritical, please, it helps alot in the whole not-whore factor.

  11. ali says:

    i hated uggs 15 years ago when i was in high school! and was shocked when they came back!

  12. Missy says:

    I do not and will not EVER EVER own a pair of the Fuggliest boots ever made. They have been around forever and I cannot understand why girls wear them. You can find other shoes that are warm and comfortable and not such expensive "status symbol" shoes. I also do not understand leggings, anyone with me on this? Especially leggings paired with UGG boots and like no pants.

  13. G says:

    I lived in Chicago. I refused to buy Uggs.

    I've been saying this since the first time those things came on the market: "UGGs are for Uggly"

    I've tromped my way through a blizzard w/ snow up to my knees, and that's not an excuse to wear them Uggly boots, and so nothing is.

    Get some real winter boots! They're just as warm and safe on the icy sidewalks.

  14. Mike says:

    I find it funny that the first remark was an appeal to popularity of men who hail from the shallow end of the economic pool. Lets get one thing straight.

    on an average campus, like mine for instance, there are more more women in these uggs in spring than there are men with baggy Jeans in the entire year. That style is fading, your boots are not. Seriously, the only time they look GOOD on a woman is if she's walking around in pajama bottoms or she has the rest of the sheep skin on her body that she hand sewn together.

    Now to the general point.

    This post I agree with and is one of the few blog posts I StumbleUpon and can actually find to be somewhat original, kudos to you.

    i agree with heather, they are maybe not sexy, but who cares as long as the are comfortable,warm & plus i'm 56yrs & i've bought enough to last a lifetime, just in case they cease making them. lol

    I am from Australia. Ugg boots are from Australia. Ugboots are worn strictly inside your own house on a cold winter night (it is acceptable to do a milk run in your pj's with your uggies on). Wearing ugg boots in public is like wearing your pj's in public. Therefore, ugg boots are not bad, they just need to be worn in the right context.

  17. Mary says:

    Blah blah blah ladies. I would just as soon die before I put my foot in a pair of those nasty boots. No, I don't own a pair of them. Nor do I own a pair of ugly ballet flats that make your feet look huge. Tennis shoes to dress down. Heals to dress up. End of story. Yes, I won boots, high healed leather ones. Even my snow boots have a wedge heal–and I try to avoid wearing them in actual snow so as not to ruin the suede. Ladies, when did so many of us stop caring about looking like we have our shit together? Rubber rain boots are another atrocious example of taste going down the drain. . .

  18. Gina says:

    Okay, first of all, guys, you are damn shallow if all you think about is what a girl looks like. Also, UGG boots are comfortable. I personally CANNOT stand damn stiletto heels because they cause blisters on me. I have skateboarding sneakers too, but those are probably just as unattractive as my BROWN CAMOUFLAGE UGG BOOTS THAT NO ONE ELSE I’VE SEEN EVEN OWNS!!!! I hate wearing winter boots indoors at my school, because my feet will get hot in the rooms that change temperature. Regular winter boots are not comfortable to wear all day. Plus, I can drive in my UGG boots. That is highly important to me. Plus, my feet get cold even in regular winter boots. My feet get cold really easily; therefore, the wool in the UGG boots is perfect, especially for the super cold nights at the football games at my high school.

    My boyfriend does not care that I wear UGG boots; he doesn’t tell me what to wear, and he doesn’t care at all what I wear because he’s attracted to my personality. So girls, keep wearing your UGG boots! If anything, they will help you attract the right guys who won’t want you just because you look like a sex symbol.

  19. JUnn says:

    Uggs are like Abercromnie shirts. Sure they keep your feet warm-so do other winter boots. That is no excuse to buy these identical -looking boots.

    Almost every girl I know own a pair.

  20. Gina says:

    oh yeah, and for those of you complaining about the sheepskin and it being an animal, think about the next time you stick your feet in a pair of suede winter boots.

    suede is just unrefined leather, so it's like wearing cows on your feet. don't think you're getting away with anything just because you are wearing suede.
