[Closed] Wife has ordered some UGG boots should I leave ??

My wife has a pair I bought her them, I hate them but it's not me who wears them and she loves them.

Why are you even asking?
You should have left by now.

I don't think they look too bad when new. They do wear very unevenly though and it doesn't take long for them to look sloppy and horrible. this can be prevented by either not wearing them outside carpeted areas or weeing in them so they're not worn at all.

Is she going to Tesco's shopping wearing her PJ's and ugg boots..then meating her m8s for coffee..yeah leave!

Wear em on your next outing, will keep your tootsies toastie! Then you can wee in them 😉

A

They are slippers ffs! Get yourself some old man's slippers from M&S and go out in them. See how she likes it! 😉
I HATE them with a passion!
CHAVTASTIC!! 8)

[i]then meating her m8s for coffee..yeah leave! [/i]

But not before you get pics of her meating her mates. 😯

Fine just let her know that you won't be seen out with her if she wears them. Which isn't like saying she shouldn't wear them now is it?

I don't dislike them but what a pile of poo. You can tell the ladies wearing them the first time, their heels are actually walking over the soles. From then on the side becomes the bottom/sole. They may work fine in Oz where it's bone dry over large areas for long periods of time. But sloppy, wet, mucky UK? Yr avin a giraffe mate!

To my shame my wife has some but only uses them as slippers.

Hope she didnt order from any of [url= http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Web-Sites-Scam-Fake-Decker-UGG-Australia-Boots_W0QQugidZ10000000009542970 ]THESE[/url] sites?

My GF did and they never turned up.

Well yes that's fine but still seems chavvy to me. Perhaps better than the big lion feet things she used to wear....

MTFU

They look great with nothing but a pair of stockings! enjoy!

Can you make sure they disappear?

Although we are rather skirting around the issue here.
What is going on in her head that makes her think, "Doez uu know what? Those Ugg boots look way cool. When I'm in Asda wiv me m8, we can ave donuts & like large it up".
Seriously (apologies for the put on Chavness as i really have no real idea how your lovely wife speaks)- it's the whole thought process that would worry me as what has lead to her believing she wants part of the Chav action, and maybe more importantly, what's next?

Leave now with your dignity in tact. 😉

Shameless plug here, if shes a size 5,5 and wants bailey buttons i have a pair on Ebay ending in 3hrs currently at £50!
And yes you should leave her.

As organic said avoid any of those sites, my daughter bought these from Uggs of london and they sent the wrong size then refused to accept them back!
looks like she is going to lose money on them, silly girl 🙄

Angela absolutely spot on!!!!

Ugg boots are actually called ugly boots in OZ and were originally a means of using the off cuts from dead sheep to make tough slippers for ranchers and cattle hands.

Slipper use is OK, outside use=morons

they are fukkn stupid and i have banned mrs tlr from even contemplating - seriously !

As I thought I shall wee in them and then leave !

get some mens uggs and go out with her when she's in hers. the naff "his n hers" look should soon put her off.

If that doesn't work lighter fluid and zippo should sort it. 😀

ugg what?

My wife has a pair that I got her because that's what she wanted for Xmas. Not really my cup of tea but then she can't see the point in paying similar money for bike stuff but still does because that's what I want. Seems reasonable enough.

What uggs for grumpy old men? 🙄

I'm just SO glad I don't have a chavvy wife!! 8)

I quite like 'em.

Ahem.

I HATE UGGS! But if they are slippers .. why would you pay £100 for them? and if they are so "trendy" no-one can see them?

I would do more than wee in them then leave! I wouldn't really wear something that I liked but MR MC thought was awful! and vice versa ... otherwise I'd spend all my time looking at him when he was in asid item thinking "you look like a scruffy/chavvie/idiot (delete as app) ****"!!! ut I guess each to their own!

I think you can now get a Divorce automatically (no fault Chav clause) - you just tick the box, attach the receipt for Ugg boots and post it back.

now go buy her some ill fitting "Joggies" 20 Lambert and Butler, a fluro scrunchie and a PAYG mobile with a Nee-Yo ringtone

then you'll have someone you'll be proud to stand next to

They are just shoes. Get over it.

Shredder.

See where this has gone?!

It might have been best to have said it was your best mate's gf / wife who had ordered the boots and ask our opinions.
Why one resident of this parish thinks an"l intercourse is at all reverent in the context of these boots escapes me somewhat, but it is a public forum, so we have to accept such comments.

Wee and run I think might be the only option now!

Depends what she looks like in them..

[img] [/img]

yes

Ive upset so many chavets by pointing at there UGGs and comenting loudly to my mates "look she's wearing slippers the scruff". Women are quite sensitive to this behaviour and the younger ones usually go quite red. Yes I'm an opinionated cock, but they are bloody awfull, and half the time the heals are buckled over and their walking like tards. Cant be good for your feet.

Round the house, great. But leave the house with them on, that grounds for divorce.

My GF has a pair and she ****ing hates chavs. So why did she get some you may ask? well she bloody wanted too. She looks very nice in them and she takes care of them due to them costing a fortune or the same as a new xtr mech. Those you see on the chavettes are more than likely copies and not the real thing. The folding over at the heels you are talking about are down to bad build quality of these copies. The real ones have supports around the ankle to stop this happening.

They are just shoes FFS! Yes I wear them and no I don't look like a chav.

Digger90 I think your comments are especially uncalled for.

My mother has just returned from Australia with a pair of size 6-12 months Baby Ugg boots for my unborn Son.
They are very cute but I'm not sure I want my Lad in them 😉
Are Ugg boots for boys

Don't [i]you[/i] start!

It's crystal clear from the posts here what wearing Ugg Boots means in a broader social context in the UK. And it's only females who think they're acceptable - again - read the replies above.

Put them in the bin and never, ever, mention this event again (would be my advice).

You know what the answer is....

[img] [/img]

I'll risk a flaming here by saying that I quite like them, and I think my wife looks good in hers. The trouble is, in this country, they appear to have become the footwear of choice for scratters, most of them are dodgy copies, and they dont look right when worn alongside horrible trackies. When she gets in from work, I'll direct her to Diggers post regarding the Ugg / bumming theory - it's friday, you never know! 😉

oh dear our house is full of them 6 pairs last count

**is gobsmacked**

😉

is this victormeldrewtrackworld.com or what stop whingeing! lifes too short!

Some women may look good in them but they'll look better without them.

Wife has ordered some UGG boots should I leave ??

Them on while I make sweet sweet love to her? I would if I were you 😆

I think some people are failing monumentally to understand the socioeconomic implications of this apparel here in the UK.

Like it or not, Britain is shot through with social class and distinction and as such people should be aware this footwear is second only to Bench and fake Burberry in the Chav's choice of clothing.

They even come with free food coupons, a pack of 10 Lambert & Butlers and a can of Tenants Extra to further emphasise the stereotypical images & to help the wearer assimilate into the lower social divisions of UK society.

Like it or not, this is the choice of footwear of women (note: not ladies) from The House Association properties.

I love how an UGG advert appears ----> there with this thread.

Oh, and there are some real pricks on this thread.

Oh, and there are some real pricks on this thread.

Just this thread?

My girlfriend has some, we went out on Christmas Eve and because it was snowing, she wore them with stockings and an LBD. I have to say, she looked amazing...

They're very warm and comfy and don't smell......

I'd even thought about buying a pair for myself... 😉

I didn't like Ugg boots until I saw the wonderful sight that is Victoria Pendleton and Jess Varnish both dressed in just skinsuits and Ugg boots. I still think they're incredibly ugly items of footwear, but hey, in the right circumstances...

Have to agree, UGG's are just that, ugly. Should be worn at home as slippers, for that they are ace, nice and toasty. But deffo a fasion faux pas. Their soles were just not desinged for lots of walking and soon makes them look realy shyte. On the other hand you have Rocket Dogs. Not slippers but propper boots with very good soles. Looks much better on a lady and the black is always stylish. Bought some for the missus some years ago and she loved them and looked nice on her. And they are not as OVER PRICED as UGGS. They come in under £50 depending where you buy.

such is the way in this country, scumbags see a celebrity wearing something (remember [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Howard ]Von Dutch?[/url]) and the copyers come out with cheap knock offs and ruin it

i give you glittery motorhead t shirts for example

don't even get my started on these f*cking things - uggs should be for christmas and not for life..

Seems they have a similar problem in Cafornia:

Can't be bothered to read all that. But in answer to the OP - are you still there? 🙄

My Aussie mate can't believe how people wear them over here (they are slippers where she comes from). Two words - slut wellies. Next.

Ugg boots are ugly, but Chavvy?

Only if your idea of a Chav is an over privileged late teen/early 20's girl, with rich parents and too little taste.

Reading this I can only assume that not one of you that has posted on this thread so far has been down the Job Centre recently!!! 😉 REAL Chavs (tm) still wear White Reebok Classics!

After all, REAL Chavs wouldn't waste that much money on footwear when there's Weed, Speed, Tennents Super and Lambert & Butlers to be bought instead... Would they now!!!

My Aussie mate can't believe how people wear them over here (they are slippers where she comes from). Two words - slut wellies. Next.

Yup, I'd say that's more accurate... Noticing how popular the Von Dutch, Abercrombie and Fitch and the like brands became popular among the over privileged late teens and early 20's girls did last decade, the rise of the Ugg boot is just the same now. "Chav" doesn't describe them really, "Slut" is closer... "Wannabe Sloanes" used to be how they were described back in the day...

Like it or not, Britain is shot through with social class and distinction and as such people should be aware this footwear is second only to Bench and fake Burberry in the Chav's choice of clothing.

Whoah, how out of tune are you! Can't think of the last time I saw anyone, let alone a Chav, wearing Burberry... Maybe if we skipped back to 2003 quite possibly... Likewise, Bench, which the Chavs adopted early on, then dropped again years ago. Bench has gone full circle for definite, and has been "socially acceptable" again for a few years now I'll have you know...

I love slipping mine on after a ride fnar fnar (can't believe I actually used that exclamation - usually the preserve of infantile males 8O)

Tine for some facts now I think.... 😉

The potted history of the ugg (Small 'u') -

[i]The ugg boot style is believed to have originated in Australia or New Zealand, although the exact date is uncertain—they have been, at different times, identified with pilots in World War I who are said to have worn them for warmth in unpressurized planes, shearers in rural Australia during the 1920s, surfers and competitive swimmers who wore them in the 1960s and 1970s for keeping warm while out of the water. In the early 2000s, they became a fashion trend in the United States, leading to increased global sales.[/i]

So they aren't slippers, but they are actually a practical working mans boot, in origin, and are designed to be worn outside.

'Ugg' is in the trendy 'Ugg Australia' brand is now a trademark of the Deckers Outdoor Corporation of the USA, and they are made in China. Nothing Australian about them at all. The only reason they fetch so much money is because of the trendy name. End of story. if you want some nice uggs (Small 'u' again) there are far, far better quality ones made, for a lot less money. - e.g. Celtic Sheepskins, Whooga and Kiwi Sheepskins.
Cheap 'knock offs' are rubbish and they are the ones that have given them the bad name that you see chavs in tracksuits walking over on the heels in.

🙂

They are just so unbelievably common (in the sense of ubiquitous rather than any class judgement sense) that I couldn't possible wear them, even if I did like them.

Bench has gone full circle for definite, and has been "socially acceptable" again for a few years now I'll have you know...

Wrong!
(Wonders how do I break it to him gently....... )

there's a shameful side of me that likes dirty looking girls in ugg boots...
but I wouldn't want to go out with one.

On the other hand you have Rocket Dogs

Which are synthetic, and nowhere near as warm or hardwearing as something made from sheepskin.

My GF has been after some for a while becuase she gets v cold extremities, but can't get past they way they look so stupid and the heel goes squiffy so soon. But anything that looks less moonbooty and gimpy isn't made from sheepskin, which is the whole point ...

They aren't all made for indoors.

These ones have sheepskin inners, leather and eVENT uppers so are waterproof and breathable, and a vibram sole. I think they're ace!

Merrell used to do some alternative sheep skinned shoes & boots that had a proper sole.

First time I saw ugg's a surfing mate had come back from a trip to Austrailia with a pair, must have been late 80's...

Warm, stylish and not chavvy!

I'm really not a fan - think they look scruffy and uncomfortable (but that is probably the cheap knockoffs....)

I've got some North Face ones like those Merrell ones - gore-tex and thinsulate lined, grippy sole. Really warm and cosy. Was very impressed how well they coped with an unplanned winter walk round Rivington at Christmas - couldn't have done that in Ugg boots!

Wow so many replies it was said with a 😉

Holy carp, rescuing a thread a year old to give details of expired vouchers, perfect!

Whut?*

*I assume something has been deleted.

Nothing gets past Jamie.

My wife has some. She isn't a 'chav'. I quite like them. She says they are the comfiest things she has ever worn.

my wifes got a brown leather pair, with fleece inners, warmer than wellies, and waterproof to an extent. certainly not slippers

On the other hand you have Rocket Dogs

I don't have any! I think they look awful, all my collection of ladies shoes have heels 😉

they are no worse than wearing white trainers with blue and white synthetic sportswear.

My Mrs came back from NYC with a second pair , she loves them swears by their comfort and warmth. I don't like but I'm not the one wearing them.

For £20 they would make sense as a warm bit of footwear.

For the "designer" price charged, there is only one phrase that comes to mind:
[b]"Fashion victim".[/b]

How did you know they were expired vouchers Hariychested? You chavvy slut you.

Lads, you're missing the important point.

If they keep your missus's feet warm, other parts stay warm too...

😀

Burn them! They were fashionable last year but now the chav world has made them their own so burn them and then wee on them to put the fire out. Last week on a train going into a well known northern towns city centre, a family friends group boarded and there were 9 women, 7 had brown fake look a like ugg boots on, one had a black pair, they all looked crap! F u g l y !
