Re: Uggs for Canadian Winter
I used to think Uggs were hideous too. Actually, they are STILL hideous and will always BE hideous. However, there is not a single shoe out there that can compare to the comfort level of Uggs! Last year was the first time I wore a (fake) pair, and my life has changed! On a cold winter day, stuck on the crowded public transit in traffic, walking around in the snow, those shoes got me through all of it! I feel like I’m walking on clouds! I KNOW they look like sh*t, but if I’m heading to school, I just wanna be comfy dammit!
There was NO WAY I was going to pay hundreds of dollars for them, and most of the fake versions I saw were even uglier than the original (if that’s even possible! lol!). However, in this random shoe store in this random ghetto plaza, I came across a fake pair that not only looked decent, but were JUST as light and soft and comfortable as the original! For how much? $20!!! And they lasted me all winter!
They are NOT waterproof. They’re okay in snow, but if you step in a puddle it’s quite gross, cuz the padding soaks up all the water, and then you REALLY feel like bigfoot, clunking around in them.
I say don’t bother dropping the cash on Uggs. Go for a fake pair. They’ll still be soft and warm, and your wallet will thank you. Your inner fashionista, however, will not, but that’s something I’ve come to terms with in the name of comfort
Thanks so much for your detailed input, RPakistani
hmm, so they are not waterproof, then? I really want a pair that could sustain the snow and slush because I’m literally out and about in the city for up to 15-16 hours in a stretch each day. So when you’re not wearing your Uggs or the replica Ugga, which boots do you wear? Any particular brand/store that I should pay a visit, in your opinion?
