Yeah, OK so they're no longer in fashion...

I have two pairs of Uggs, but lately I've been wearing my frye boots into the ground.

Here's the Uggs I have:




And my Fryes:


And...the Uggs I want next....CLOGS!!!

LOVE the Fry's!

Those are some sexy boots.

UGG's are soooooooo comfortable. I wore mine all day without socks and felt like I was in foot heaven.

Yeah, but if they even ship to Canada, I'd be charged an arm and a leg for exchange, S&H and customs fees! It would probably amount to the same, or within $20, which is no biggie.

Personally, I think its worth it to buy the real things because they're made so much better and last longer. I bought a pair of knock-offs when they first came into fashion a few years ago, and they started to fall apart after a few months of winter.
My chestnut Uggs are over two years old now and are still good to go! I don't wear them outside if its particularly wet though, they don't have very good traction. My black ones have rubbery-grippy-ness on the bottom (they're the "Ultra Short" version) and are fine to wear in pretty much any weather.
Scotchgaurding them is supposed to be good, but I never did it.

Oh, and the Frye's are equally as comfortable as the Uggs, and a little more versatile since they're not quite as warm. The leather is soooo soft.

I do almost all my shoe-shopping nowadays on Zappos.com

Free shipping, 365 days to return, free return shipping, awesome selection. Can't beat it with a stick.

I'll check it out, but when I buy from stores in the US, there is almost always some kind of catch in shipping to Canada, if they will even ship here.

They look great though... I'll check them out!

When I got my 1st real job out of college (1980) I bought a pair of Frye boots. Back then they were $100!! I still have them even though I haven't worn them for yrs-I figure which could come back in fashion (they have). However with the scar buildup on my big toe of right foot they are a bit painful to wear..

well, since they're an online only store, that might make a difference...

I'm so out of the loop, Jenn, I had never heard of these boots. They're so cute! Pink is super perfect, you and I have the same taste! What a great track jacket, too!

Be sure to remember to wear your jeans, though!

Thanks Steph!

Yeah, I won't be taking Ryan's advice, that's for sure.

Since when are slippers fashion? Ask any Aussie they are not meant to be shoes lol

 

[wellingtoncats]

missymotus, they're actually pretty big in Australia!

Myself, I can't stand them. I was tempted by some pretty pink ones once but I fully couldn't justify spending like $200 on them.

 

[miamispartan]

I work at a retail store, and we are still selling quite a lot of them...even in Miami!

Interesting, I've only been away from Australia for a few years and never saw them being worn as shoes just slippers.

 

[wellingtoncats]

I don't even think they've been in fashion that long! They were real fashionable here not last year, the year before.

 

[vespacat]

Here in Toronto people wear them as boots. I see all kinds of UGG styles here! They certainly don't look like slippers, and are meant to be worn as boots. I've been wearing mine this winter without socks.
