Oh, don't get me wrong...they aren't sexy (or even all that attractive, preceding Ugg ad aside) however they are ever so comfy and warm (especially in 6° weather). The "traditional" style are pretty much "out" as a fashion item around here except with people under about 20 (I do have to say that they are cute on youngish girls with casual skirt and dresses...by "youngish", I mean about 4-18)

I still don't want Crocs either.

Have you seen the Croc high-heels? "Style" gone seriously wrong:

I agree completely.

They were big for our swim and surf teams in high school, but other than that, this Uggs with shorts is a new phenomenon to me.

I want a pair for the winter. I hate it when my feet are cold. You'd never catch me wearing them with shorts.

Uggs were designed to be worn post-surfing and beach going in Australia. They ARE beach shoes.

I can so see wearing them when it's cold. My 'snow' boots don't look like 'snow' boots and I'll wear them when it's cold and raining.

I can see wearing them after surfing/beach~warm up the feet.

The only reason I wouldn't give the kids a hard time for wearing them with a uniform would be on the very cold days. But, I am not hip on uniforms.

I would think, though, if those girls are walking a lot outside and need the warmth, that the shoes might be clunky and they should wear more comfortable walking shows with tights/leggings, etc. Just my opinion.

** SHOE ALERT ***

FYI for Friday January 30th....

Good Morning America is doing a segment on inexpensive boots in the first part of their 8:30am half hour.

Any opinions on these shoes? I'm contemplating a purchase.

I'm not a fan of the shape of "Vans" (or like shoes) so they don't appeal to me. I like the print, however.

I agree with NA on both points.

I like the pattern.

I bought these last week (to replace my black Chucks)

I know I said earlier in the thread that the shoes in classic black weren't as comfortable as I remember. I think it was a sizing issue. I tried them on again and they fit (but the black with white was to throw-back to 7th grade) and the black/gray check are super comfortable.

Metallic leather shoes. I'm feeling it and I need you to talk me out of it.
