woah, sweet, can you post pics?

I've been wearing mine for at least 6 months and have seen only a few fades. They're the Japanese versions, though, so I hear the suede is a bit more colorfast.

edit: Just realized nonissue was referring to his girl, not his uggs.

+1 Practical for around the house, or discreet forays into public places, preferable under the cover of darkness. I also like them as "after-ski" boots. Feels great to put on after a day in skis.

Not really what I like, but I think they're common or commonish in colder environs.

No, those are ugly as well. I'm talking about the really classic styles that still have the warmth of the Uggs due to the sheepskin. I'm looking for a pic but can't find any. Iknow there's a Sioux model that is made of fur on the inside and has a really classic and manly style that I would suggest but as I said can't find pics.

Here's a model I found on eBay which is basically the same concept: classic "manly" (no Uggs BS) boot on the outside and real warm fur inside:

Here are also other eBay finds of what I meant (although less stylish than what I would usually like):

Go to their main website and you'll see better looking boots.

UGGS are ok. Seems played out but whatever floats your boat.

The first picture looks decent. Decent for house usage. Would I get one? probably not.


Try looking for the Butte model. ( I just went to their site and they seem to be out of it). This is the one I have.

Uggs are exactly what they sound like. Ugh. Can't say ugly without the Ugg.

I wear my UGG short boots with Nudie Slim Jim (tucked) or with APC Rescue (untucked), sometimes I wear them barefoot at winter.
