Ugg Boots – To be? Or not to be?

Ugg Boots – To be? Or not to be?
Carly Jacobs

Gala asks the question – Do you wear ugg-boots in public? Well, the lovely people over at Whooga sent me a pair of boots for my perusal so I’ve happily taken the challenge of road testing them. Tis the perfect weather to do so after all..

I have to say that ugg-boots have eluded me for many years. I have dancer calves (which are similar to those of a sherpa) so boots rarely look good wrapped around my brick-like lower legs. I also have a serious aversion to looking sloppy in public. This didn’t stop me from gleefully unwrapping my Whooga boots and pulling them onto my chilly feet the second that they arrived. 

Made from merino wool they are super toasty and mega comfy. The sole is a little stiff but after a week of wear they are starting to soften. These are the boots that I was sent (despite heavily hinting for these ones – cute!) and they are very traditional tan, long ugg-boots. I do agree with Gala that ugg-boots are far more acceptable in black. I can handle tan but that’s just because I’m a purest and I’d do chocolate because I love pretty much anything in chocolate. I’m certainly not a fan of the pastel colours but I imagine that if I was ten years old there’s not much else in the world that I could want.

These boots are the first thing that I put on in the morning and the last thing that I take off before I get into bed at night. I even slip them back on when I duck out for my midnight bathroom visit. These boots have made a trip to the letter box and recycle bin but have gone no further. I wouldn’t be beyond wearing them to a friend’s house but I have a hard enough time driving as it is without two merino wool pillow-boots strapped to my feet. 

All in all I have to say – BUY SOME FREAKING UGG-BOOTS!!! You really won’t regret it. And do consider Whooga – they are made with Australian Merino sheepskin and there is a handy sizing guide to make sure you get it right. The boots arrived REALLY quickly and it’s difficult to find ugg-boots for sale in real life so internet buying will really help you out. I thought mine were a little big at first but they don’t size down as much as other ugg-boots and after a week they are still fitting well. Oh and Whooga are running a competition to win a free pair of boots follow the instructions here.  I’ve been wearing them for a week straight and I have to say they are pretty tops. They are definitely staying inside my apartment though. I’m so not cute enough to pull them off in public…

Tonight I’m wearing…

* Vintage kimono from Material Pleasures

* Vintage slip thrifted from Salvos

* Obi belt thrifted from Salvos

* Ugg-boots from Whooga

* Glasses from a second hand store on Gertrude St. I have to wear safety glasses in the jewellery workshop but I find them so uncomfortable so I bought clear lens glasses. How adorable are they?

Love Lady Smaggle

  1. NO ONE is cute enough to wear Ugg Boots in public! I can imagine the comfort of them, but wow, they should come with a home arrest beeper huh?! Worse, is when girls wear them with their trackies tucked into them, and they sloppily scuff along the street…..shudder….. 😉 xxx

    Lady Smaggle, you have done the impossible & made ugg boots look cute! I love your kimono & glasses & lovely hair.

    I have purple ugg boots and have only worn them once in public on a very early morning trip to Baker’s Delight. I was also wearing a kimono at the time, so it all felt a little too bedtime for my liking and I couldn’t stop thinking about how disgusted my mother would be. But Tara is right, you do look cute!

    totally aside from the ugg boots – those glasses are smoking hot! you should wear them all the time – total love!

    Wow, those glasses do look good! I’m impressed. I love chocolate brown, too – alas it’s not really in fashion at the moment. I REALLY NEED some chocolate brown leggings. I was wearing a lot of brown the other night and flirting with some blokes at a party and they were trotting out brown-is-the-new-black, but I had to put them straight that it’s the old black, and really a bit 2005. They didn’t have any complaints, though!

    Oh yeah, I wear ugs in public and I’m totally cute enough to work it! they’re nice-fitting ones – they don’t look like slippers, more like fluffy boots.

    I was a staunch ugg boot hater for years. Until the cold NZ winters got to be too much for me and I bought a pink pair from No. Shoes.
    I know pink is possibly the worst and trashiest uggboot colour there is.
    I would hang my head in shame, but they are just so warm and comfy!

    Would never wear them in public though!

    Ugg boots good for inside, baaaaad for outside. Nobody should be caught dead wearing dead to the movies, to dinner or shopping. That’s what pretty, normal boots are for!

    Are the glasses an attempt at an “intelligent” aesthetic?

    As for the uggs…I was born and live in Queanbeyan so boots da lamb are a birthright.

    Love,
    Matt XXX

    P.S. Adore the hair and new seated pose!!!

    Glad you are liking them ! I also love ugg boots. I find that the most people that don’t like ugg boots are the people that don have a pair. I run a ugg boots blog please check it out.

    I’m sorry Lady Smaggle but to me Ugg boots are a slippery slope to hell. I’ve tried them and simply couldn’t bear it…even in the snow. Cool snow boots I can do, but Uggs.. All the more for everyone else I suppose.
    Still love you, even in your boots. 😉

    Love my Uggs! Whooga boots are crappy and inferior. They must have sent you a “special” pair for your review because the ones that we got were absolutely horrible.

    Those high north face fleece jackets standards are the ones which result in
    cheap north face jackets, but it is those same standards which ensure that
    the north face sale remain available only to a select few.
